E L P ! - If you are a present or past member of our team
who believes in the value of what you have been participating
in, and appreciates the impact we are having on the lives of
some of the poorest children in Peru: then
please join us in helping to finance this work. So far this
year we have opened 14 new centres (including satellite centres)
and have more than tripled the number of children we are helping.
And we will continue to do more as the year progresses. But
we are finding the cost of all this staggering for our tiny
organization - each month we must come up with between 10 and
15 thousand dollars - Bruce is working 20/7 and Ana Tere harder
than ever in her life to keep up. We do need some help. Will
you please go to our JustGiving web site, and there open your
own giving page, and circulate this to all you know. It only
takes about 5 minutes to open your own JusrGiving page - come
see: ( and click on "I want a page like this") http://www.justgiving.com/pfp/bprojects
.While we are at it we want to thank those of you who have generously
contributed to our work so far: Megan and her family, Elizabeth
and Chris, Mark, John and Lesley, Emilie's Charities and of
course our friends at KinderZon, who co-sponsor our Lima project.
Also: Marta, Nicola, Juliet, Maria & family, Catherine,
Saveena, Mai, Debra, Diana, Katie, David, Meghann, Floyd, Bob,
Tom & Barb, Emma & Ethan, Anne, Gavin and all you good
people, |

school, another, in Trujillo is a maths genius. |

 25 June, We are all
sad to bid farewell to Marta Lozano, who returns to Madrid today.
In just two months she has quadrupled the size of our project
to help pregnant abused adolescents. We
did not let her go without promissing to return as soon as possible.
Marta also served as co-director of BP Trujillo.

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!. |
