After one visit my heart has been stolen. I now know what my mission is here in Peru. It is impossible not to love these kids and easy to be impressed with the way Westfalia is run. They do an awesome job but always are in need of many things. I will continue to do my part and hope that many others will as well. Many thanks to Scott for bringing this wonderful place into my life.

I want to say was a huge thank you to Scott for letting me accompany him to see the wonderful work that is going on. The children are absolutely flourishing in a loving, supportive, creative and educational environment. Every child is cherished and filled with supportive messages and positive codes of conduct and a sense of understanding towards themselves and others. There are so many opportunities for each one to develop their skills and recuperate their well-being and sense of self through animal and plant cultivation, art therapy, foreign language skills, sports and so many more educational activities, conventional and otherwise. There are self-sustaining projects ongoing and I am absolutely humbled by the excellent, thoughtful and insightful work of the whole team involved in the care of these fantastic children. My hopes are that this organization can move to NGO status which it so deserves so it can benefit from further funding input. The work is invaluable and defines what we should actively be working towards in life: the improvement of the lives of children, especially those who have had a difficult start in life. A big thanks again to all of you in this fantastic team, but especially a big thanks to the children.
