A day of music, dance, and games

.

The last day of the Roofdogs visit was spent in

a special day of dances, music, and some fun games.

Tia Gloria accompanies the San Jose kids as they sing

Give Thanks and Sing Alleluia to the Lord in English!

Their colorful outfits were for a folkloric dance they did.

The girls from Sagrada Familia

did a more contemporary dance,

but later the guys joined them for a
colorful traditional Peruvian dance.


Little cowboy Juan Diego
is all smiles.


Aren't these some of the prettiest
cowgirls you've ever seen?

A recorder quintet entertains the crowd.

The Sagrada Familia tutors also
prepared a special dance.

Ten of Tia Gloria's piano students give their

first public performance, including Arelis.

Edgar looks tired but happy

after his dance.

The Roofdogs join the kids

in a lively final dance.

Ronald and Waldir watch

some of the games.

In an active game of "keep away",

Waldir, Edgar, and Susana
try to steal each other's clothes pins.

The fans cheer from the sidelines.

Tio Ron enjoys a special time with

brother and sister Javier and Angela.

Daniela and Katiuska are enjoying the activities.

Near the end of the day, the older students from

Sagrada Familia were given "tools of the trade".

Here Tia Tony gives Susana some cosmetology tools,

which Giovanna also received. Manuel was delighted

with his electrician's tools, and Edgar with a chef

outfit. Margot will have her college entrance exam

paid for, plus received a nice backpack.

Team leader Susan Kerr

is given a plaque by Sagrada Familia

in appreciation for all they have done

to support the casas of Arequipa.

After lunch, Tio Ron demonstrates how

to train the new young puppy at Sagrada Familia.
Tio Nozar and Tia Kelly played the role

of a puppy in training...an entertaining

way to get the message across!
