from Bruce Peru, NEWS OF PERU, hope for homeless children August If only our Delicias Shelter had existed when these girls needed it - We serve free meals in our comedor to children up to the age of 14. Pictured here are nine girls who sometimes eat with us. They may not look it but they are young enough to eat for free, they are child prostitutes. Each one has her own tragic tale to tell; usually begins with repeated rape, then abortion or maternity, then abandonment: ends with drug addiction and prostitution. We are desparate to catch these girls before thay are lost and give them the protection and rehabilitating care of the Delicias Project. We already have the property and have taken the first small steps in construction, but we urgently need outside help in order to build the facility. .........................Click for more of the story. |

Our mission is to improve the quality of life for street children and abandoned mothers. But sometimes a friend comes along who does not fit our demographics; a regular friend who needs an eye operation and can't pay for it - should we turn him away? We couldn't. |

The
angels of August.
We again received three generous donations of good things for the children this month. Sharna, our somewhat elegant Londoner gave us 300 soles for the cghildren, and we are already using it to buy them tickets to the latest performance of the ballet company. Last but not least the generous nuns and students of the upper scholl at La Assencion mage lovely gift boxes filled with sweets and larger gift wrapped boxes of childrens clothes to be distributed at our next childrens'party.. Thank you all! |

| When WaWaWasi came to train 88 mothers to run their new nurseries for the babies of poor working mothers. Wawawasi is one of the best Government run social programs we have encountered in Peru, and therefore when the local director asked to use our facilities to train their new workers we gladly let them. |
