Medical, Dental and Soccer Care with Shenandoah Valley Academy

A youthful group of about 55, representing Shenandoah Valley Academy (Virginia), came to offer a helping hand with the People of Peru Project. We were fortunate to be apart of some of their side projects out at POPPYS House.

First, they brought a plethora of medicine, allowing them to treat many people –here they are working in Santo Tomas. People were lining (actually crowding, there are no such things as lines) to visit with the nurses and doctor.

 Secondly, a dentist was able to treat some of our girls. He was even able to take care of Angel’s front tooth issue –now allowing him to grow some new teeth. Here is a photo of him working on Ana Victoria –from the look of this photo; she was not scared at all. 

Thirdly, our girls, upon hearing that this group had some good, female, soccer players, challenged them to a game. It was comical to watch as two cultures and styles clashed upon the field, but in the end, the gringas (girls of Shenandoah) pulled away with a win. Our girls (Lisa and Kelly played as well) LOVED the interaction and opportunity to play. We even had a few of local people (kids really) that showed up for support and commenting.
