Welcome Mount Vernon Academy

A group of high school students from Ohio arrived down here in Iquitos. They started out by putting on a church service out here at POPPYS House for all of us, and then on Sunday, got to work on redoing our exceptionally rotten fence. They did a vacation bible school for all the kids in our little town (4 nights), dug a well, constructed trusses for a house, delivered food to a mental hospital, leveled a dirt floor in a neighbors house and fed homeless kids down town. This group did some amazing work. They were hard workers, fun to be around and well behaved. Out here at POPPYS House, we are so grateful for all of the things that they did, and we hope they come back again soon!
