We opened three
New satellite Schools during the past month:
Trujillo (Alta Salavery),
Huaraz (Shancayan),
Cusco (Zarzuelas). |
|
 This month we hosted
a medical team from the USA,, here to treat some of our
poorest children. They held clinics in 7 of our neediest
communities, treating over 100 children each day.
More than 700 patients treated & saved
at least 2 lives.

 Volunteer
Life at Bruce Peru - Photos of volunteers who
have served or are serving at the various centres of Bruce Peru.
Also photos of some of our children in class, & at play.
|
Note: So far all 185 children we enrolled, none of whom
were bound for school before we found them, are still attending.
One boy in Cusco has even been voted best student in his entire
school, another, in Trujillo is a maths genius. |

Better school
buidings for the children of Bruce Peru Lima.
We have left the pool hall in Rinconada for a proper school
house at Las Americas, and the "Pig Pen" (La Chancharia)
for a real school in San Sebastian |
 Some of the matrons
of Trujillo have joined us in knitting baby clothes for the
expectant adolescent mothers in our Delicias project. Their
work is beautiful - one of them is the former owner of one of
the city's finest knitwear houses.

The Ministry
of Education have invited us to install our little schools
for very poor children within sellected primary and secondary
schools. We have agreed to operate a pilot in one school,
and if the relationship works: will consider others. |

Full story
 Our
children were not in the Tsunami (though one of our volunteers
survived it).This is a parabole - In the same way the Tsunami
captured the news headlines and the whole world got involved,
yet the same number of lives are lose each week to starvation:
which goes unreported: so it is with our chidren. The whole
world knows about "street children", most people
have seen them - if only on TV - and there are NGO's set up
to help (though of course they need lots more than this).
The category of children we serve far outnumbers those who
live in the street, and they are almost as badly off. So why
does the world not know about them? Because they sleep under
plastic or in a woven mat shelter in utter poverty with uncaring
or abusive parents - they must find their own food, get their
own clothes; they don't go to school: they are abandoned in
their own homes. That's why the world does not know about
them. But we know they are there, that they suffer, and we
have come to find them, to help.
Won't
you join us!. |
