Carlos and I are working with homeless people in the center of Lima and started an NGO (focus on families) in Ventanilla, Slums in Lima.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Exploring in Honduras the Mosquito rainforest and go deeper then tourists are allowed to go...thanks to the local people of the village there. But after many days eating three times a day fish and rice, I was happy to enjoy a pizza=)
Living with the Masai, being non stop amazed about their way to life. To stay with them was a big honor and very challanging.
Survive Malaria - God is able to do wonders although nobody has hope.
Teach, Learn, Share
I like to teach what ever I can or know and like to learn what I don't can or know...that is a lot. There is always something to learn and that makes life interesting.
I'm still learning to settle in Peru and get used to the Plus and Minus of the culture.
