Fusagasugá


We visited the IMC (In Ministry to Children) home in Fusagasugá (commonly known as Fusa), with Nancy, the Colombian director of IMC, who kindly drove us all the way from Bogotá. It was about a 2 hour drive along some crazy roads, and when we got there we were given a raucous welcome by the children.

We helped serve lunch, which was really cute because each plate was prepared individually for each child. Afterwards they gave us lunch which we ate whilst watching the Colombia vs England World Cup match. We also ate blueberry lollies.

And I played with some of the girls and boys for ages. 





Next, we met a family that mummy met 19 years ago and they had a puppy and a budgie and a bunny. Their house was very simple with an outside bathroom open to the rain, and parts of the wall were falling off. We want to help raise some money to get it mended. Despite their very modest lifestyle, they were very welcoming to us, and very pleased to see Emelye after so many years.

    Hi Sophie, That's soooooo cool!I bet the rabbit was soft and very cute, was it? Are you finding it interesting meeting your Mum's old friends and spending time in the IMC? I think I've actually only ever seen a budgie once, I can't remember what they look like at all.Enjoy your time and on and off weather as well as helping the people who come to the house your staying in.The salt mine looks really interesting, was it? From your fascinated friend,EVAx
