SOLIDARITY WITH THE ROOF DOGS

On Saturday, September 11, 2010, the Roof Dogs
 held their run in Plano, Texas, to raise funding to
help continue supporting the Casas Hogares.  

Here in Arequipa, the children from the two homes 
got together for a day of fun and games in
 solidarity with their beloved "Perros Techeros."



Sagrada Familia Director Pedro Huamani
 and Padre Juan Ayala, President of the
 Directorio, address the kids and guests


A special visitor from the U.S. was introduced
 to the children, Pam Hernandez, Board Member
 of SAMS, here pictured with Tia Gloria

Older boys vs. older girls.....
Then an all-girls match.....these gals are tough!
Then the younger ones get their turn
Even the tutoras get into the act...

ALL IN ALL IT WAS A GREAT DAY FOR
 THOSE WHO PARTICIPATED ON BOTH
 SIDES OF THE HEMISPHERE!   

PERROS TECHEROS, WE LOVE YOU!!!
