Our program on June 2nd was a presentation by the Boyers – member Bob, and his wife, NancyIn 1987, David and Gina Stavros went to Lima, Peru, to help the people of Flores de Villa. They established a church, and set up a medical clinic. From that beginning, they have continued through the years to help people in their impoverished area. They have continued their Christian-based ministry, and have expanded their work in some unique ways.
 
In Peru, English is a required second language. During our midwinter, Peruvian kids are on vacation, and groups of American adults go to the mission area to help the youngsters increase their grasp of, and pronunciation of English. With the help of experienced English speakers, the lucky kids have a “leg up” on their classmates when school resumes.
 
Bob and Nancy showed a video of where they were which described the goals and progress of the mission of the founders, the Stavros. With the work of the Boyers, the library and the medical clinic and hearing aid project in Chimbote, our club has a significant presence in Peru.
