Yo dormi en la camion de basura...Soy Oscar the Grouch de Peru

I spent the day riding in a Peruvian dump truck today...and it was great! Peru has a social assistance program called Vaso de Leche which supplies families of women and children with food/milk. All the food gets piled onto a dump truck and then distributed to families. I spent the day doing just that, handing out food in nearby towns. I felt like a celebrity. All the women waited for us to arrive. (Ok, maybe they were waiting for the food, but it was a really good experience nevertheless.)

At one point I got so tired that I took a nap in the dump truck. I felt like Oscar the Grouch! :)

  1. This is probably what gave you the idea about the soup kitchen, no?
