Mariner's Group led by John & Joy Cooke

Kristin & I had the pleasure to host a team from Mariner's Church this past week. Along with the team, we passed out wheelchairs, worked at the Nancy Cole Women's Home, visited the orphanage in Cusco, and held an anti-parasite/ Dental campaign where we pass out over 800 pills and cleaned close to 50 sets of teeth!!! Check out the pictures below!!

This is the team from Mariner's that we worked with.


These 5 wheelchairs were passed out house to house in the poverty stricken area of Callo.


This is Paola explaining to a family how to operate, clean, and repair that chair. Dale (Kristin's Dad) was with us on this distribution.

Chris and the Mariner's team running quality control test on the wheelchairs at a mass distribution. 27 people had their mobility and dignity restored!!
While Mariner's was working at the Nancy Cole Women's Home they ran four workshops. One of these workshops was a sewing workshop. They trained the girls on how to use the newly acquired sewing machines. They helped the girls make customized pillow cases. They were beautiful!

These are some of the children at the Limatambo orphanage making personalized bags. Once they finished their bags they were given a gift of toiletry items to put in it.

The children in the orphanage were also given a dental training and new toothbrushes. This picture is Pastor Kenny (Director of the orphanage) and the children of the home showing off the new toothbrushes!
