Happy holidays and merry Christmas to family, friends and past volunteers from Lourdes and I here in the northern Amazon jungle of Peru!
2020 has been a difficult year in which we had to completely shut down our educational outreach progams here in the small community of Sauce. We did provide the service of delivery of essential food supplies during the pandemic to some of the more vulnerable families in our programs. In addition we continued to support the Khuyay Waldorf school in the city of Tarapoto which remained in operation, but only on an online basis.
The lockdown situation did have some positive aspects: Lourdes had plenty of time to learn Peruvian Sign Language to better communicate with some of our deaf children and adults and I got to mostly finish up our house on which I have been working for almost 10 years. Also it was lovely having our lake very quiet with virtually no boat traffic for all those months.
We are optimistic that 2021 will be a better year. This is still a beautiful world despite many challenges and we will continue forward inspired by love which remains at the heart of everything.
