Day 5  TRAVEL TO AREQUIPPA  
When we arrive into Lima we will board a plane and fly to the southern part of the country. Arequipa, Peru is not only beautiful and picturesque but also one of the best locations for mountain climbing in South American. It is a very cute and quaint community that will give you a real feel for Peruvian life and culture. We will check into our hotel and rest. Our afternoon and evening will be spent serving at the “Casa Hogar El Amor de Dios” as well as the “Casa de Niños”. This Orphanage has never had any other outside organization offer to help them or visit and it is obvious. There are 22 children living there from age 0 to 12. They attend school off premises and are organized in family units with ‘mothers’ who take care of them. They receive funding from the Government for their essentials, but lack funds for building maintenance, etc. The buildings are sturdy but all of the roofs are in terrible condition. It will be our opportunity to serve and strengthen these programs. We overnight in a quaint bed & breakfast in Arequipa.
