Peruap update Dec 09

PERUAP (Peru Apurimac Project) Supporting community projects in Peru
Bulletin No 15 http://peru-ap.blogspot.com/ London December 2009


News from Peru
We recently received some requests for support from some groups. We received a letter from the Association of parents of disabled children "Being a friend" of the neighborhood areas Pedro Ruiz Gallo - Tarapaca in Callao. "Being a Friend" is an association that has been helping disabled children in the area. They request support for the traditional chocolate for these children during Christmas. The president of this institution is Mrs Lupe Bustamante. It is estimated that in Peru there are about 700,000 children with disabilities, of which 15% or 20% are registered in a program to meet their condition.
Peruap also received another request for help from the Health Directorate of the Regional Government of Callao. Dr Romy R Rangel wrote us seeking assistance to purchase laboratory equipment for three health centers of Callao Health Center Santa Fe, Jose Boterín and Tarapaca. Overall we will send the sum of £ 240.00 for both institutions. We also are sending £100 pounds to support a group of children in the shanty town of Pachacutec Callao to help them to celebrate Christmas. This donation we will be made through the Friendship Group of Callao (“Amistad”) who collaborate with us to channel the support we give in Peru.
We also received a letter from the school Maria Reiche N. Vitarte district in Lima where they express their gratitude for the donation of 25 chairs for the improvement of its furniture. This donation was made by Peruap in October 2009. We thank the Amistad Group based in Callao in the person of its president and treasurer Patricia Zavala and Rosario Fernandez and other members for their voluntary cooperation.

Christmas appeal
Since 2001 Peruap has been supporting projects and groups in Peru, including disabled children’s centers, rural schools, health centers and others in various parts of Peru. Once again we will be very grateful for any donation from you, it will help us continue this task of supporting these areas with scarce resources. You can send a cheque payable to Peru Apurimac Project to our address: 53a Queenswood Road, London SE23 2QR. Tel 02,086,998,731.

Fundraising event of Peruap
We are planning to hold a meeting to report on our activities and show photos of our last visit to Peru, which would be both an activity to raise funds for Peruap. There is the possibility of organizing a dinner with a variety of dishes from Perù and elsewhere. We will keep you informed.

Trip to Peru Sept 09

The Village of Chiara, Andahuaylas, Apurimac
















We would like to show you some photos of our latest trip to Peru and the donations made by our project. We met various groups in poor areas in Lima and Callao and in the Andes. We have been to a community centre and a women's centre in Chiara. We also collaborated with a hospital in Callao and a health centre in Lima. We went to Puno where Peruap met school children in an aymara area near Lake Titicaca , in a village called Camata. We will soon publish our next bulletin with a more detailed report of this journey. Here are some pictures taken in September 2009 during our trip to Peru.

Thanks.

Fotos recientes de visita y donaciones de Peruap a Andahuaylas

Visita realizada por Peruap a la provincial de Andahuyalas en enero del 2009. En el distrito de Chiara una como en vistas anteriores cumplimos con efectuar algunas donaciones a fin de colaborar con este pueblo que vive en condiciones de extrema pobreza. Nuestra ayuda que es de lo reacudado en eventos efectuados en la ciudad de Londres consistio esta vez en una cocina mejorada para el comedor popular a fin de sustituir la cocina a leña. Tambien se dono material de construcción para continuar la construcción del future local de la Comunidad Campesina. Asimismo se obsequió juguetes a los niños y otros materials para el local del comedor popular.
