Mini Olympics Get Brains Going!
Mini Olympics
The interns at Little Bug planned a Mini Olympics for the kids. They divided the activities into outdoor and academic. The outdoor games were a blast and the kids enjoyed discus (Frisbee) and shotput (water balloon throw) in addition to a few fun relays and races. After they exhausted themselves outside, they moved everyone inside to get their brains moving. The kids were divided into teams and the events they enjoyed the most were seeing who could finish a puzzle fastest and solving math problems on the whiteboard (mostly because they think it’s fun to write with whiteboard markers). Thanks to the donors who supplied those learning tools!

Medical Expedition A Success!

 

A medical team of 22, including five spinal surgeons, an anesthesiologist, assistants, specialists and families returned from Peru having changed lives for good. Thirteen serious and critical spine surgeries were performed on patients from the “poor people’s hospital” at Loyaza, in Lima, Peru. Additional services were given by family members of the doctors who ventured into Cuzco to do projects in hospitals, orphanages and community centers.  Most joined together to experience Machu Picchu, toward the end – all in all, a combined once in a life time opportunity!  Thanks goes to all the doctors and to Dr. Brent Felix at Innovasis for the invaluable services provided.

Micro-Loans Work! Humbertos’ Story:
humberto

Humberto, a father of three and grandfather of four, has worn many hats in his life. After years of lean living, he opened a food stand in Piura´s busy central market. Each morning he made ceviche, a popular Peruvian dish made of fish marinated in lime juice. Over the years he amassed a loyal following of clients. However, his business was limited because he was serving his food from a small cart with very little room for the people to eat. With his first loan, he purchased a larger cart that had seating space for six. Because the cart was more visible, he also attracted new clients. Now, he serves more than 350 people daily!

Humberto has also benefited from the business workshops he attends as part of the lending process. In these classes, he has learned how to manage his income. He decided he needed to invest some of the money he was earning in a new business. He and his wife used a $4000 loan to purchase a taxi that they rent to a driver each day. The business has been so successful they have since purchased three additional taxis, and between the two companies they have eight employees working for them. They now feel at peace because they are financially secure and no longer have to worry about having enough to meet their basic needs and they will be able to take care of themselves when they can no longer work.

Humberto attributes much of his current success to the loans and training he received from Eagle Condor. “I am so grateful,” he said. I am not the only person that has been blessed by the loans I have received. All of our victories are shared with our family.”

in turn who agree
to attend school.
Do you know anyone who wants to make a purposeful difference? If so, let them know that for the cost of one meal, they can sponsor a child for a month.

“When people donate their time, they are giving of their valuable heartbeats.”

Sometimes words are just not enough when you want to say thank you…. which was the case with our Jon Schmidt benefit concert!  Maybe that’s why he received those standing ovations!  BRAVO!  What a fun and magical evening for all who attended.  Thank you!

Heartfelt thanks goes to photographers who have donated their work over the past year: Take a look at more of their work:
