News
from Bruce Peru, NEWS OF PERU, hope for homeless children
November
Coming:
Shelter for pregnant
rape victims (most
are under 16).
Peru
sadly has many such victims, usually having been forced by a step-father
or friend of their mother; when the pregnancy is discovered they are forced
out onto the street where prostitution is the only door open to them.
We want to open another door. That's why we are building this shelter
for them.
Until the kind hearted mayor of Delicias gave us this
900 square meter ocean front property, we were at a loss as to how to
help these poor girls. Now our volunteer architect is desigining a Spanish
mission style building, adobe walls and sheltered rooms surrounding a
central garder; they will house residential, medical, dining, psycholiogical
,educational and workshop facilities. The isolated beach and softly breaking
waves will provide therapy. The adobe bricks we will make ourselves, but
for doors, windows, electricity and plumbing we will have to pray for
donors.

Instruction
& help for single mothers
Our
social worker, Jerusa, gives information and instruction to mothers of
working street kids. Also
a small team of our Psychologists tour the 14 outlying mothers clubs to
help the mothers and the children. The key to helping a child often is
to first help the mother find an
alternative to the income from the child's labor.

Transitions
This
month we have been delighted to receive many new and valued volunteers,
several from Britain, and professionals from Peru: Medical Doctor, Psychologists
and Communications. Their arrival has permitted us to open the English
Academy and the new medical center as well as offer more and better services
to the children who come daily to our facility in the center of Trujillo
and those who use the 15 outlying Restaurant Corazones and mothers clubs.
We welcome them and thank them for their help to the children and mothers
of Trujillo.
