Serving and Visiting Colegio Miramar

On our second full day in Peru, we visited the Ursuline School, Colegio San Jose, in the Miramar district of Lima (the school is generally known as Colegio Miramar). This school is in a very humble area of Lima so the Ursuline school provides not only a wonderful education for the children but also a sanctuary away from the difficulties of life outside the walls of the school. In fact, the sisters are very important to the life of the entire Miramar community as everyone knows them and is so grateful for the help and education that they provide. The children eat very well at school because the Sisters know that sometimes they lack food at home.
Our Ursuline students joined the girls from Colegio Santa Ursula in preparing snacks and lunch for the children and they also played with the youngest children on the play ground. It was a wonderful experience and the girls were excited to know that they will return to the Miramar school next week to help some of the older children with homework.
