The Orphanage at Lucre

I've included some photos of the boys at Lucre. There are some with the boys playing with some donkeys that happened by the place. Lucre is out in the country surrounded by mountains and just getting there involves navigating through herds of farm animals - sheep, donkeys, cows/bulls,etc. There are also some photos of the boys which I got from Marcus. Marcus is a German volunteer who lives out at the orphanage. He has been there for almost a year. He is a unique guy with a heart of gold plus he really likes living out in the country.
I've also included some photos of orphanage cow that you may or may not want to look at depending on your tolerance for a bit of gore. The cow fell and broke something (I'm not sure what). The first pictures show the boys trying to move the cow to a better place so they could better tend to the cow's injury. Also, they tried to help the cow to stand because if a cow lays to long it can die. I'm not exactly sure why. The next pictures show the cow after it died and local farmers cutting it up. I thought it was very interesting.
Finally, I included a couple of photos of the mountains around Lucre, as well as, two rainbows that appeared after a hard rain.
