NEWS FROM OUR FRIENDS AT PROJECT PERU

 
Picture
It is always encouraging to hear about what charities are doing "on the ground" and to learn about the way their work touches the lives of the people they are trying to help, so it is wonderful to hear from one of our local charities, Project Peru, through this bulletin from its founders, Carole & David Hudson.

'Chasqui' runner: see end of article
Everything is hectic, challenging and fun with Project Peru both in the UK and in Peru.  But the children are as always making the most of the library and the varied workshops,
 from music to football and much more, and many of them enjoy helping in the kitchen garden, with the ducks or with painting and occasional building projects.... and as always some are very enthusiastic about cooking, crafts and 'cosmetologia'.  Skills are vital in the struggle to break the circle of poverty as is education and everything is very positive with the children's  studies.   We are over the moon that several of the older children now studying at university come back to our refuge to share life and help out in practical ways.
​
Below are some photos of different distributions of goods from our latest cargo we ship from the UK: walking frames, walking sticks and wheelchairs and more to a group of isolated older people in the area of Ayacucho - and clothes, blankets, shoes to marginalised shanty town communities just near our Casa Hogar, our refuge.

Also Karina and Josue are responding to a request for help from 200 children living in isolated villages in the Andes high above Piura.  They will take everything from school materials to soap, blankets clothes and toys and much more, all from our cargo.

Our kitchen garden is fantastic... it's the yuca/cassava season now and the fruit trees are finally bearing fruit!  By the way our duck project is flourishing and self sufficient!

Without your support we would no longer be able to  go on helping those living in extreme poverty... a huge and heartfelt thank you; your help makes a real difference.

Thinking of you with thanks and warmest wishes,

Abrazos

Carole, David y la familia Proyecto Perú

Finally, are you curious about the significance of the Project Peru logo?

​http://projectperu.org.uk/about/frequently-asked-questions.htm explains:

"The current ‘Project Peru’ logo shows a 'chasqui' runner, a design derived from Mochica pottery.  As did the Incas later, the Mochica people used these 'chasquis' as relay runners to deliver messages and goods throughout Peru.  The Moche or Mochica culture prevailed in the northern coastal region of Peru from about 100 AD to 800 AD.  Project Peru continues to carry support, friendship, education and goods to those in extreme poverty, from the shanty towns to the sierra."
