Magic show, contests with prizes, songs and beautiful gift for each child -  those were happy hours spent with children in Huaycan filled with laughter and joy! We would like to thank sponsors (see the list), volunteers and administration of zona 12 de Agosto for all your help and making it possible! On the site we joined forces with volunteers and doctors from Ministerio de Salud that conducted free medical campaign for mommies while their children were having fun playing with us. 

Program started with the show of magic, and what show that was! Kids were spellbound by living dove appearing from "empty" hat, white bunny they could pet at the end. Interactive show by Magojan kept kids entertained for 45 min. And they didn't just watched, the bolder ones had a chance to participate and performed tricks themselves!

After the show, we started the tournaments. By this time the sun came out and the day was bright and sunny. Each child received a "pass" that would enable them to get the prize. They needed to complete each game: pop the balloon with the dart, catch the fish, bowling, rings. Of course there were no losers and everyone was eligible to recieve their prizes: beautiful girl purses (thank you Iasa Corporation-Do It!), dragons and princesses (hats of to Bembos), and colorful quality vinyl balls (thanks to CIPSA). 
While children were playing, mommies participated in free medical campaign by Ministerio de Salud concerning the usage of certain medications. 
Special thanks to Sra. Marita for driving us to Huaycan and helping during the program.
Jemima, Karen and Karlita you were big help with the children!
Thank you all! You put smile on their faces!

We picked up today last portion of gift from Bembos and chips company.
