Today was really nice.
We went back to Mamma Cocha and finished of all the painting and then we worked on constructing a water tower so the house can have water 24-7. It was really nice seeing the pleasure that the kids felt after knowing they would have water. Once we had finished it was time to say goodbye.
Here is one part. I was so happy with the people there that I have decided to stay here with the drawings that you guys have all given these children and I just want to tell all of you wonderful children at CIS that you are all the most amazing drawers I have ever seen and I hope that one day I can come back and then thank you all again for helping the Rainbow Center and giving Mamma Cocha the gift of art.
Thank you for following my blog.
Once again I just want to say thank you! I hope one day you can come and also visit me. See you all some time in the future

Day 15 - 31 March
Today was our first day in Los Organos!
We woke up (after a good but short nights sleep) and were all really excited to get working with the children at Mamma Cocha. What we didnt know was that when we got there, was that it would be really muddy because of the rain that came with us. But what we spent the day on was painting an area near the entrance to the classroom and then coating a office with varnish. It was some smelly business and when we saw the children and how happy they were when they saw us painting, we all started to feel so happy and proud.
Hopefully tomorrow will be as good

Day 14 - 30 March
Today was a very exciting day.
After taking a look in Lima and going to this mall we just really relaxed and got packing for our flight to Los Organos.
We took the flight at 19:30 and arrived there at 22:00. The weather here is soooo warm and humid. The bugs are all really big compare to Denmark's and then when we finally arrived at the hotel at 02:30 at night (because our van broke down a couple of times) we just fell a sleep at once.
This time though, the beds were soft!

Today was not that eventful.
We flew to Lima at lunchtime and after that we really just relaxed in the hotel we were origninally in.
Hopefully tomorrow, where we arrive in Los Organos, there will be more excitment

Day 12 - March 28.
Today we went to Cusco. That was the capital of the Incan Empire 500 years ago!
We woke up at 5:30 and then we drove for 5 and a half hours until we finally reached the hotel in Cusco. Once we arrived we found our rooms and then we ate some pizza, then we just relaxed until dinner, where we went to a restaurant with a peruvian band. They played really well, and after eating we walked home and just relaxed until we eventually fell asleep.

Day 11 - 27 March
Today was really good!
We finished out hike (hurra!) and we then walked all the way down the really tall mountain only using our legs (no hands or cars) and then we arrived at this really awesome place. We stayed there as well and guess what they had. Heated springs! Some of the water that came down from the mountains is really warm, and these people collect it and make these really warm pools that me and my friends could swim in.
After swimming for a while we slept in the place around the swimming pools in out tents.
See you tomorrow

Day 10 - 26 March
Today was the grand beginning of our hike in the mountains.
It was really hard, but boy! Those views were amazing. The mountains are so big that each mountains is bigger than the whole CIS school! We saw other cool things, like sheep, waterfalls, rivers, llamas and these tiny bananas that were really yummy. I had lots of fun, and when we got half way up the mountain we had to sleep in a tent, with a campfire and all of those things. I hope I dont get cold during the night.
