Uniforms in Las Palmeras......................New
Uniforms in Porvenir
Throughout
Peru we have over the past months prepared and gotten 175 children
into school who would not be there had we not found them, fed
them, healed them, loved them and taught them. For they are
the poorest of the poor in their communities. We also support
over 100 children in school from our past year's efforts.

 We recently opened our largest satellite centre anywhere -
in Trujillo. And Just in time too - for we only had a few weeks
to get all these children ready registered and in school, uniformed
and supplied. VISIT OUR

' Bruce Peru Club' launch |
We held the first
meeting of the Bruce Peru Club - for children we already have
in public school. It is our way of keeping up with them and
following up on our work to get them into school. It was a great
success. We will do the same in all our centres. |
Note:
Our Cusco Centre has already been holding "Homework Clubs"with the
same mission - they are held jointly by Bruce Peru and World
Vision.
