Tom and Lauren live in Piura region which is located in northern Peru about 6 hours from the border with Ecuador and 16 hours from Lima by bus. The weather in Chulucanas was around 90 degrees, very hot and humid. The land is mostly flat and as you near the town of Chulucanas you can find several other villages scattered throughout. Chulucanas is known for its distinctive ceramics, earth-colored pots that depict humans. In fact, Tom’s dad is a ceramic artisan. Tom’s family is big; he has several siblings. Tom’s dad call him “Superman” because Tom like to watch super hero movies. Lauren lives a few blocks from Tom. Lauren’s family consists of two sisters, a dad, a grand mother and a baby. Lauren’s sister is a school teacher. Lauren and her sister came to see me at the bus stop in Chulucanas. I took Tom and Lauren to Piura to buy their tickets back to Lima. Later in the day we went downtown to eat lunch and swim in a small hotel’s pool. We returned to Chulucanas (about 1 hour bus ride) and visited their service location. There I met Elena, the center’s supervisor. We talked about the center’s current vision and challenges. Tom and Lauren work at RBC, Rehabilitation Based on Community. This organization offers physical therapy for children in need. They also have a psychologist and area doctors who come and volunteer at the center. Tom’s main area of work has been to mentor a 16-year old boy who has a disability. They take care of the grounds of the center. Lauren has had the opportunity to do several things at the center. She has worked with deaf children and taught sign language to the staff. Both Lauren and Tom help in the center with whatever is needed however simple and mundane the job is. There are two Swedish young adults who also live in the community and spend time with them. Tom and Lauren attend the same evangelical church 2 or 3 times a week and have had the opportunity to make several friends.
