This unique orphanage located near San Salvador, El Salvador is home to 140 persons with disabilities. Every three months, our program sends a team of two volunteers to live at the Hogar and provide love and stimulation to the residents through education and play.

Things are going well here! Our internet was down for about a week and a half so now that it is up and running again I figured I would update the blog. The biggest thing that happened was the patito (little ducky) event on Sunday. Every year the hogar holds this event where people buy the little ducks and they put all of them in this lake and the lucky winners they choose get prizes. Its like a raffle. Before the event, the duck came to visit the hogar and we held a huge fiesta. The kids loved it. The event itself was also very fun, the hogar is so well supported by the community!! It makes me happy to see how many people are involved to serve these kids.

Wow! How fun! I've never heard of them doing this before. Were the prizes any good?
Yay! We did that same thing at the Boys and Girls Club! We called the Lucky Duck Derby and we did it at Seven Peaks. It was a blast and very exciting. Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun too!
I hope everything is great down there in El Salvador! I love you a lot and miss ya. Can't wait til you come home...til then, have the time of your life! :)
