Oh the sweets...


These photos don't even begin to capture the array and plethora of incredible looking sweets available EVERYWHERE IN CUSCO!  Coffee shops, bakeries, and street fairs like this one.  Feel I could do a whole blog on the beautiful, edible, sweets I encountered while I was there! 

Row upon row...
Is that some kind of Mickey Mouse themed jello, flan cake thing?! Why yes, I think it is!

My Amiga Rosabel


Meet Rosabel -- she is one of the first mom's we met at the shelter.  She is out of the shelter, living on her own, working a full-time job and raising her two young sons.  She is a success story, and also part of the family!   Rosabel grew up around abuse from the time she was very young and then found herself in an abusive marriage herself.  

We are still supporting Rosabel as the pay from her job (which is full-time as in Monday thru Saturday 8 am to 8 pm - her boys come to work with her after school) only covers about half of her monthly living expenses.  

She is a beautiful person, a fighter, and yet another GREAT investment!
