We were concerned for a while this time
that we would not have time to visit Nuevo
Amanecer but we were able to make 4
separate visits to help them start a little
group. Nuevo Amanecer is a place of
dust, dirt, and heat.  In the rainy season it
is a place of water, mud, and heat. It is a
challenge for "delicate" Americans like us.  
We were somewhat surprised to see the
enthusiasm of the children of Nuevo  
Amanecer but gratefully we were able to
make 4 separate visits to help them start
their little orchestra. In Nuevo Amanecer
is it is common to have many children
attending the first or second meeting—but
quickly they stop coming.  However, there
has been a small dedicated group from the
beginning—and that is encouraging to
see.   Unfortunately Nuevo Amanecer
has few strong families that are together.  
Out of 12 or 15 students participating in
the final concert only 1 mother and father
pair arrived to support their child.  
Perhaps some of the difficulty lies in
communication—many of the parents are
unable to read or write and ancient Indian
languages are still a large part of daily life
there.  We have been visiting this small
village over a period of years (since 2003)
and many people there have become close
friends.  We are trying to make
arrangements to have phone contact with
them every week or so to guide them with
their practices.  They will have many
challenges to face as they try to
encourage their young people on a Godly
path.  We hope the best for them.  Offer
prayers for their families.
