Today we left the workshop for Zapallal, to attend the inauguration of the school named Mi Otro Mundo, a school which Misericordia helped set up. The day was a great success, and those present were very appreciative of the pupils’ school uniforms, created and confectioned by Misericordia.

Aujourd’hui on est reparti à Zapallal, assister à l’inauguration de l’école Mi Otro Mundo, une école à laquelle Misericordia a en parti contribué. La journée fut un grand succès, et les personnes présentes ont beaucoup aimé l’uniforme des élèves créé et confectionné par Misericordia.

Aurelyen, accompanied by a small part of the workshop team, took an 8 hour bus ride from Lima up to Yurinaki, a small village found in the heart of the Peruvian central rainforest. La madre Leticia, a nun who has been a close friend of Mision Misericordia ever since its foundation back in 2002, had set up a primary school in this village, and had asked Aurelyen to act as a father figure and mentor to the 5B grade.
Aurelyen had been asked to design and confection the graduation uniforms for this this grade. The workshop worked on waterproof materials for these uniforms, considering the climate of the region.
A big party was thrown for the school’s opening, which involved fireworks and good food. Aurelyen bought a tie in the middle of the jungle in order to look fit for the occasion. All in all a good experiance, and Misericordia is thrilled to be associated with another humanitarian adventure.
