  ..New New 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.

 For more than 2
years we have been preparing for and fretting over our project
to help pregnant at-risk teens, and finally - in January - we
got it off the ground. Now it flies.

 Our satellite projects send Bruce Peru volunteers into
the most deprived barrios where the poorest children
live. Local volunteers are
helping. The first two satellite
centres are here, Cerro Pesqueda, and La Esperanza. On Monday
08 November, this barren brick building - without water or
electricity (kindly made available to us by the Mayor of
Pesqueda) - was converted into a three classroom mini school.
Here 27 unschooled children were waiting for us to begin
preparing them for school. | Full story
