Proyectos por el Perú

Quienes somos
Peruap es una organización sin fines de lucro fundada el año 2001 en la
ciudad de Londres. Somos un grupo voluntario que tiene por finalidad apoyar a grupos sociales y proyectos comunitarios en las zonas marginales del Perú tanto en la capital como en provincias, con un énfasis en la ayuda a hogares infantiles, grupos de mujeres, centros de salud y grupos barriales.
Desde sus inicios ha venido realizando una serie de eventos culturales
y sociales con la participación y colaboración de
la comunidad peruana en la ciudad de Londres. Es digno de mencionar la participación de la comunidad latinoamericana y los amigos del Perú en el Reino Unido.
Cada evento ha tenido la participación solidaria y voluntaria de artistas de distintas nacionalidades, grupos de danzas y diversas instituciones sin cuyo concurso no hubiera sido posible dar continuidad al proyecto y sobre todo reunir los fondos necesarios para apoyar a los proyectos en el Perú. Mayor información sobre nuestros eventos y las donaciones efectuadas hasta la fecha pueden verse en nuestros boletines publicados en nuestra página web www.peruapurimacproject.org

Welcome to a new edition of our bulletin. First of all our thanks to Maria Anne Moore for lthe organization of the party which is to take place on the 12th August to help the PERUAP (Peru Apurimac Project). Also we give thanks to the ex members of Andean group AMARU III for the collaboration who are to get together again on the 6th September for a special concert to support our project. We would also like to say thank you to all the people who are giving us help in various ways in the fund-raising events we organise and to the people who have supported the Projetc both by giving us generous donations and by attending our events.

Event supporting PERUAP
On the12th August a farewell party will be held in support of PERUAP organized by Maria Anne Moore who will shortly be going to Peru to help various organizations who help socially disadvantaged people and also to collaborate with PERUAP. The money raised from this party are going to a project which is helping elderly people in the poor area of Santa Rosa in Callao. There will be music, food, and the traditional Andean Scissors Dance. For more details phone Maria on 02086907599.

Letters from Peru: Elderly people association in Santa Rosa Callao
The “Santa Rosa de Lima” Elderly People Club situated in the shanty town Santa Rosa in Callao has asked us for to provide building material to complete the flooring of their local centre. In Peru 8% of the population are aged 60 years or over. “ A large proportion of these people live in state of abandonment with little or no recourse to pension or social and nor proper access to health services”. Our Project has decided to help this club to which we plan to pay a visit during our next visit to Peru to see more closely and to learn more about the problems these elderly people are facing.

Pachacutec shanty town and the irrigation project
We have received another letter asking for a help from the group of teachers of the Hiroshima School in Pachacutec , Ventanilla Callao, for the installation of another water tank in order to complete the irrigation system project which is part of their eduactional and enviromental studies project. In our last visit in November we were shown the irrigation system with the tank and piping we had donated in place and already irrigating the area designated . We are considering the possibility of continuing helping them .

Forthcoming event : Concert by Amaru IIII
Moisés Conde, Dante Concha, Chano Díaz Límaco and Wilfredo Avalos, will get together for the first time in more than a decade to give a very special concert on the 6th September at St Johns Church Waterloo at 7.30 pm. Peruap is very grateful for this show of friendship and wilingness to support our project. Amaru III was one of the most popular and original Andean bands in the United Kingdom . Once again their fans and people new to their music will have the opportunity of enjoying their successes and their music.

An appeal for the next event
If anyone would like to offer their services to help with the organization of the above concert we would be very grateful . We need volunteers to help with selling entrance tickets , serving drinks and other tasks. Please contact us on the address below.
