…to say that this evening I am heading off to Cusco for a week’s holiday. I have now finished language school and on 30th June in the evening I will be heading to Ica on the overnight bus. I will give a full update with my news when I arrive in Ica but before I go I wanted to update my blog with some pictures from the past month.

Playing games with lots of children near Pedregal, about 2 hours away from Arequipa. I went with my church on a day trip, more on this in my next update
Celebrating Father's Day at church - the different children's groups performed songs and dramas. Then each father was presented with a gift.
Picture from a walk I took on Saturday with May, another 'Strider' in Arequipa - I am going to miss seeing these volcanoes everyday.
Playing Scrabble in Spanish! Surprised to say I didn't come last, I think my score was even better than when I've played in English!
Girls from the Wednesday evening group at church.
Hanging out with friends from Language School- I had grammar classes with Jon (the guy with the beard).
After some language training to improve my Spanish I will be taking up the role of Short Term Coordiantor (STC) for Peru. The STC coordinates the Latin Link Step (teams) and Stride (people) programmes, placing them in projects lasting from a few weeks to two years. Based in Arequipa, I will be getting involved in a local church and my local community.
