We ❤️ Gymnastics
Wow — these gymnasts in Peru are pretty flexible! The girl on the right is Carmen, a 15-year-old in Compassion’s program. She has won national contests in rhythmic gymnastics. She practices so much that she may get to the Olympics someday soon! Even though Carmen lives in poverty, she knows she can still reach her big dreams.
