Cutting The Lawn Makes A Difference

Our neighbors from Idaho have made a difference here in Pucon. They have been working with the foundation of a local orphanage to improve the buildings and grounds that house about 40 young girls. Five years ago when they started there was no hot water for showers, the yard was overgrown with weeds and the buildings unpainted and dreary. They hired a grounds keeper and he mowed down the weeds. When they returned the following year the people who work at the home were most happy that the rats were gone. Now the children were not infected with the lice that the rats were carrying. The orphanage is sparsely furnished but clean and bright. The girls were delighted to have company and they followed us around while we toured the property. Their lives have been greatly improved by one simple act.
