tidbits by tiff: I Miss This

Last Spring I went to Lima, Peru with University of San Francisco, University Ministries. I went with no knowledge of the culture, language, or friends but I left with a calm spirit, lifelong friends, great memories, and a strong appreciation for all cultures. We worked with an organization called Herracion, a program developed to get street children in Lima off of the streets and into school or constructional programs where they learn trades like construction, sewing, and cooking that can benefit them in the future. The founder of Herracion is a Lady named Lucy Bazan. She is the most influential and inspiring women I've ever met. She started the organization and has kept it running by herself, funding and all, and is expanding the organization as we speak. To meet someone with such a giving heart inspires me to be a better person everyday. She lives her life in order to make a better life for others. I pray to be like her someday. I thank God for this experience and hope that everyone is given the opportunity to experience another culture, and another way of living one day. ♥tiff
