Today after weaving class, I accompanied my fellow student, Leslie, to the Aldea Infantil el Rosario orphanage here in Huancayo, where she has been volunteering for the last couple of weeks. Last week she studied spinning and dying wool with natural dyes. This week she´s teaching it to the kids at the orphanage.
Today they were dying yarn with red onion skins that had been prepared by yesterday´s group, and they prepared a new dye for tomorrow's group - with eucalyptus leaves.
The kids loved it, and for young lives that have been filled with sadness, they were quite full of love and life. They loved my camera, and went crazy taking photos of each other (these are their photos).
