Welcoming friends from Equador

The Peruvian kids from my work are welcoming their neighbors from Ecuador. The group came down to play soccer against some Peruvian soccer clubs.
The children welcomed their friends by singing and chanting ¨Peru and Ecuador are Friends for Life¨The kids learned in this activity about Self-esteem and how self-esteem is delicate and we should treat people with love and respect.
Psychology Interns, Jorge, and Gladys, from the University that help me do workshops with the kids.
I´m giving a speech to dozens of kids about how we are humans but each one of us is different. Peru is a very collectivist society and sometimes it is hard for the children to think on their own and use their own creativity.
This is our new volleyball court thanks to supporters back home who donated money to purchase new sports equipment and supplies. I´m the referee.
