About us

We are the Roper family. Neil, Amanda, Daniel and Sophia. Neil and Amanda are both in their 30s, Daniel is 4 and Sophia is 2. Neil and Amanda have been married for nearly 10 years, and met at Notting Hill Carnival.

Both Neil and Amanda have been involved in youth and children's work for a number of years, and look forward to new experiences in this area in Peru.

Neil is an Arsenal supporter and is pleased that he can watch football in Peru - he has even seen a few Arsenal shirts! He loves Jesus' attitude to children and hopes that he and the rest of the world can follow his example.

Amanda loves fair trade chocolate, running in a very amateurish way and WIi Fit! SHe thinks young people are fascinating, interesting people and loves chatting to them about, God, life love and everything.

Daniel loves music and stories, and Sophia loves cuddly toys and making tea for people. Daniel loves mango, Sophia loves water melon and they both like icecream and custard.

We will all be speaking Spanish soon(ish), and are looking forward to getting further immersed in Peruvian culture.
