| 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. |
