As Anglican missionaries, Carlos and I have been working to support the two centers dedicated to offering basic services and therapies for children and adults with special needs who otherwise do not receive therapy because they cannot afford it. The therapies we are trying to offer are speech therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, art therapy, and life skills. The centers also offer education, food, clothing, and, in some cases, housing. For the past three years Carlos, Andrea, and I have been sending money to pay the therapists' salaries at Mission Shalom in Lima and collected donations to support other activities such as the Soup Kitchen, Christmas gifts, winter clothing, food baskets for families in need, and supplies for classes.
