Volunteering abroad in Peru

One dozen volunteers from the USA and Australia completed 9 1/2 days on the worksite at La Florida, Peru, preparing three homes to install roofs, and beginning another home.  The people in this dusty little village love people from the Fuller Center.  Our Peruvian host Zenon Colque and the Fuller Center teams have made it an emotional oasis in this desert community.   Our ties with the people on staff and in the community produced a tighter bond than I ever experienced in my previous seven builds elsewhere.
