Rosio, 4 year old daughter of the family I stayed with in Peru. Her kindergarten class received dolls.
June of 2007 I went on a GAP Adventure trip to Peru. I had just gotten divorced and wanted to travel but was nervous about going by myself. GAP was perfect. We hiked the Inca trail 5 days and ended up at Choquequirao ruins, volunteered at a children’s center in Cusco, visited Machu Picchu and helped out in a mountain village for several days. We stayed in locals homes and I volunteered at the school.
The kindergardeners had so much fun with the dolls. The boys played “army men” with them and the girls tied them up in sweaters on their backs. Later in the day we saw a woman with a baby on her back and one of my students was walking with her and had her doll on her back. Cute!
