Before leaving Peru we celebrated the inauguration of our new permanent headquarters for Estrella de Sauce with a fiesta. Over sixty adults and children showed up after we spent the morning painting a temporary sign in front and painting the 'horcones' (roof supporting posts) with jungle designs of vines, butterflies and geckos.
We had 3 cakes as it was also Lourdes' birthday.
The new center is already being used for classes but still lacks some finish details like properly installed electric lights, metal doors on our wood-fired oven and classroom furniture.
Thanks to Andy in Australia for sending us a donation that helped us move forward with the final construction that included a bathroom door and window.
