MEDICAL MISSION TO PERU - http://juanjuiproject.blogspot.com/

Please visit the above link for information regarding a medical mission sponsored by The Luz Fund to the hometown of Luz and her family in Juanjui Peru.

Welcome

Welcome and many thanks for visiting the weblog of Luz Estephanie Machiavello del Castillo. Luz will be returning to Tampa in January 2018. Her appointment at Shriners for 2018 will be January 17. There is a good possibility that Luz' sister, Giuliana, may also accompany her. Luz has grown since we last saw her in March 2017. Hilmer has said that she is excelling in school. Please take note of the article below on the right to see how you can help make her visit more comfortable. You will be able to see updates on Luz and her progress as she proceeds along the path that will again enable her to grow in the confidence and stature of a beautiful little girl. Stay tuned.

Passage of Time, 2017

As years pass by many things change, and so it is with Luz Estephanie.  Now fifteen(15) years of age, Luz is a beautiful young lady, as photos will attest.  Below are a few taken during her visits the past two years.  I promise to post some current photos after her visit in January.
It has been almost two years since our last visit to Juanjui and the Maachiavello homestead along the Huayabamba River in the San Martin Region of rural Peru.  Much has changed there also as damages from recent storms has caused damage and disruption of daily life very similar to what we have experienced here and in the and Puerto Rico.  The family has rebuilt and moves on, as these problems have become a normal way of life in many communities.  Maybe this year a return visit to Juanjui will give us a first hand update and some time with our friends in Peru.
