Visiting Jordan in Chincha

Jordan lives in Chincha, located 2 hours south of Lima. This town had been hit hard by a previous earthquake more than a year ago. Chincha’s climate is warm and dry. It never rains in Chincha; just like in Lima it only drizzles from time to time. Jordan lives with Edwin and Cecil, both medical doctors, and has 2 siblings. Jordan’s family had a great lunch for us. After eating we went to visit Jordan’s service location. Jordan helps with construction work at a local school. This school is located within a church compound. This is an evangelical church with ties to the Christian Missionary Alliance denomination. Jordan comes to work daily and works with supervisor Enrique. They have completed the construction of a medical center and are currently finishing a kitchen/cafeteria. Working at this compound has given Jordan the opportunity to play with children. These children of all ages like to play with big brother Jordan.
