"Tierra de niños" - Ventanilla

In short, this week has been about learning language. Our Spanish-course takes place at ESAN University and is a course over three weeks. So much to learn and so little time!

But we have also visited one of Strømme Foundations projects outside of Lima, in Ventenilla. The drive took a little over an hour, but we found ourselves in another world. Strømme supports Tierra de Niños (Children of the Earth) and their projects concerning children and health issues. We visited a kindergarden with so many adorable children! :):) These children learn about anger management and socializing with other kids, through different activ
ities. The parents should be teaching the kids these things, but are usually busy working.

The children made awesome pasta-necklaces for us.

The people from Tierra de Niños also brought us to a family involved in a health project. Women from the area come together and learn about organizing the home in a sanitary and good way. For example concerning clean water, but also how to raise children and the importance of not using violence.

The kindergarden in Ventenilla, full of colors!
The trip to Ventenilla gave us all a reminder of what we are going to do here in Peru, and now we are very excited to get to know La Restinga!

Besides school and field-trips, we have had some sparetime ;) Tuesday Peru met Chile in a very important footballmatch and of course we had to see it! It was shown on a big screen in the center of Lima and thousands of Peruans was there with us. Peru lost, but it was a very exciting game!

Watched a footballmatch with Peru-Chile with Lars and Simen. "God steming!" 

Lars made a hilarious movie of tapes from the game. Watch and enjoy! http://simensays.tumblr.com/post/11442685802
