Christmas at the hospital

A wonderful missionary family here in Iquitos, Adam and Jen, invited us to help bring cheer to the children´s ward of the Regional Hospital. A group of us joined them to pass out little candies and toys on Christmas day. To our surprise, they provided us with costumes. We were butterflies, Aaron was the giant clown and Adam was Captain Power Verse. We were very happy to see that there were few children in the hospital on Christmas. Better that they are at home and relatively healthy, right?


One of the weakest babies, hospitalized for malnutrition (and clearly had been a pre-me). Her arms were like toothpicks.
Aaroncito, "el payaso guapito" according to some of the women in the hospital. I kindly informed them he was mi payaso!
