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
