Workin

This is a picture of me, obviously, working at the house of an 'abuelito' named Nicklaus.  One of the sites that many of the volunteers work at is, more or less, a recreation center for senior citizens.  They provide food and activities for many people who would otherwise not have much to do.  Many of the older people in this area, Villa El Salvador, unwillingly moved down from the highlands during the 80's and 90's during the time of war and never quite fit in.  Many of them speak Quechua, which is a completely different language than spanish and they were never able to adapt or fit into their new environment.  The guy in the red shirt is the director of the senior citizen program and the other one is Nicklaus.  

Often times they will have extra projects or things for us to do outside of our normal jobs and this was one of those projects.  We basically just go to houses like this and help clean up decades worth of garbage and debris.
