SCHOOL
FOR THE DEAF AND
MULTI-HANDICAPPED
Two students presented a short skit.
A group of older students with one
teacher in the middle
A group of younger students with 2
teachers
We donated some money to help that
school.
Say with the hand -- 'Thanks and Good Bye' through this
little window when we left.
I understand Vantage Deluxe World Travel through the Lewis Foundation
that
sponsors our tour in South America may be involved in making a
difference in the lives of multi-handicapped children at that school. 1. PERU -- Page 2
