Some photos from our recent hospital retreat. This article is from the hospital website. The people at the hospital are a great group, and they are a great example to us of Christian love and brotherhood.

Laughter mingled with farewell tears

A day of creative joy

If 107 grown-ups and children play and make handicrafts fun is not far away.  The several workshops on offer rediscovered and promoted talents.  Santa Claus came as a surprise visitor and brought presents for all the 45 children there.  The “Olympic Games” ensured that there was not a dry eye in the house.  The group honoured seven exceptional athletes for their excellent support over the past years: Dr Will and Allison Caire, Harry Dürksen, Patti Piepiora, Simon and Belen Giesbrecht and Dr Marlen Luckow all of whom are finishing their multi-year working-stints at Diospi Suyana.  Thus drops of sadness mingled with the joyful atmosphere.  But we as Christians believe that we will see each other again one day.

The “Olympic Games” were held on the highest level but also had a farewell nature.
