June 18

Hello again! Sorry I've missed a couple days! Monday I was on a bus all night and 
yesterday I went to bed early because I didn't sleep on said bus ride, unfortunately. But 
I'm ok now! Tuesday we got in to Piura at around 9ish and then I went straight to Paul 
Harris. It was my last day! I am sad to leave those special children. They are so sweet 
and I feel so lucky to have known them. 
Later that afternoon, even though I was dying because of a lack of sleep, we went to 
hogar de cristo to work on the mural. It is almost done! I really love those boys. They 
are so sweet and just the silliest happiest things. I am even more sad to be leaving them 
behind. If I hadn't had this project this past month, I would not have felt as fulfilled 
about my time here. Because of these boys, I feel like I have made a little bit if a 
difference, and I definitely feel like they have made a difference in my life. I also 
will never ever forget about them. 
Oh if any Boy Scout needs an eagle project or someone just wants to help some people out 
with service, I have the contact information for this orphanage. They need a lot. 
Supplies, clothes, funds, you name it. These boys are wonderful and even though they 
don't have a lot, they are so happy. They deserve as much as any other boy growing up 
today. 
If there is anything I have learned from being here, it's that life is not fair. One 
person's situation in life will not be the same as others. Maybe that's common sense, but 
I have learned that for myself here. Something else along with that, is that your 
situation in life does not matter. What matters is your attitude. The people here, a lot 
of them have very little, but yet they are some of the happiest people I have ever met. 
And these boys are no exception. I am really going to miss them. 
Today we just went to hogar. We went at ten this morning and we didn't leave until seven 
this evening. The mural is almost done! It's exciting! 
Anyways, that's really my life right now, for the next day still. Then I am headed home! 
I am sad but feel ready to come home. I miss everyone! 
Love, Amber
