Service in Huaraz

Hogar Arco Iris, or Rainbow Children's Home, is an orphanage founded ten years ago by a Spanish physician named Maria Jesus in the city of Huaraz, high in the Andes. Each morning Clayton begins his day by taking a disabled boy to school. Hannah begins by playing with a boy and a girl who are too young for school. Later they help out with a variety of tasks: tutoring the older children, helping to prepare and serve lunch, playing with the kids after school. But perhaps the most important thing they do each day is serve as role models, reminding children who do not know their parents what it is like to have young adults in their lives.
