At the end of June, I took off with an amazing group of Christ followers to go work at Casa del Águila in Limatambo, Peru. It provides a home for more than 30 orphans and children from bad home situations. Casa del Águila is a safe refuge full of all of the love and care in the world. I was constantly impressed by the selflessness and sacrifice of the hard-working staff members, and by the outpouring of love from children who didn't receive enough themselves. I enjoyed my time at CDA more than I ever imagined I would, and when I left, a part of me stayed there. I cannot wait to return, God willing. If you would like to find out more information on Casa del Águila, their mission, and how you can help, visit casadelaguila.com. A todas las personas que hemos conocido durante nuestro tiempo en Casa del Águila, gracias por ser tan amable y simpático. Espero que puedo regresar pronto.

Hi friends! As I'm sure many of you know by now, I went on a mission trip to Peru at the end of June with Endurance Leadership to visit Casa del Aguila in Limatambo, Peru. They provide a safe home for over 30 orphans who come from bad or dangerous situations. They also have a school for over 200 children from the area (and beyond) who go great lengths to get a good education. I could write a novel about my amazing experience and it could never convey to you how wonderful of a place this is. Everybody we met was loving, welcoming, selfless, and hard-working. CDA is almost fully self-sufficient; they put so much work into this place to make it what it is. There is so much life and joy and spirit there. However, they do need plenty of help financially to support and maintain it. They need money for the orphanage, the school/education, for health/medical expenses (some kids need medical help that they cannot afford), and for food. If you or someone you know would be interested in donating (and hearing more about CDA), or if you are blessed financially and would be interested in giving monthly, please message me for more information. If you can't afford a lot and still would like to help, don't worry, anything you can offer will help. U.S. currency goes pretty far there, and I know anything you could give would be SO appreciated by them. Donations can be made specifically to a child or area in the orphanage, or can be given to help the entirety of the orphanage as well. I promise you, it is well worth it. I have never met a group of people more deserving. Message me to find out more about how you can help, or visit www.casadelaguila.com (donations can be made through the form at the bottom of the page).
