I decided to work in "Pan Para Mi Hermano" which is an aid program run by the Catholic group "Movimiento de Vida Cristiana"(MVC) which started in Lima, Peru. Pan Para mi Hermano is run by young people who want to contribute to society and share what they have; they do this work in 10 de agosto y García Avilés, next to “El Telégrafo”.
The leader of the group is named Ericka Sánchez and she is supported by Alvaro Flores. Both Ericka and Alvaro, are supported by the directors of MVC of the city and the church of Samborondón. This program is focused on helping low-income people to increase their faith, and they are also give food when the activity is finished. The food is donated by the Unihotel and members of MVC.
A group of assistants work with the children, playing, drawing or just talking with them. Another group talk with the older people and not just about faith because they think that we all have something to tell about what we have done during the weekend.
Normally, I always play with the kids because that is what I love to do: Spend my time with kids. I always learn about them, not only adults have something to teach to the kids.
They do this activity all the weeks and there is not only one group. Even for Christmas they do some activities for them.
Gabriela - What do you do with the children? What does it mean to increase somebody's faith? How do you know when somebody's faith has increased? Why do you want to increase people's faith in the context of what we have studied in this course so far?
