New satellite projects send Bruce Peru volunteers into the most deprived barrios where the poorest children live. Local volunteers are helping.

Paying homage to some recent volunteers at Bruce Peru

The first two satellite centres are here, Cerro Pesqueda, and La Esperanza. On Monday 08 November, this barren brick building - without water or electricity (kindly made available to us by the Mayor of Pesqueda) - was converted into a three classroom mini school. Here 27 unschooled children were waiting for us to begin the process of preparing them to enter school.
