On Saturday 21st, PERUAP put on an event of
photos and videos at East Dulwich Community Centre, to mark its tenth
anniversary. Friends of the project
attended the evening and enjoyed music played by Paloma Palomino from Peru and
Jeannette from Bolivia.
Claudio Chipana, coordinator and founder of PERUAP,
presented the event supported by Judith
Grismdell, co-founder of the project.
They presented an account of the work done by PERUAP – of
the help given to the various community groups in a wide area of Peru, and
which started in the community of Chiara in Apurimac.
PERUAP’s visit to Peru in 2011 included visits to the shanty
town Nueva Esperanza in Callao, the “Polivalente” Centre for handicapped
children in Huancayo, the shanty town “Villa Señor de los Milagros” in Carmen
de la Legua, the Elderly People’s Centre in Callao, the Bakery training Centre
in Bellavista and the Union for Domestic workers in Lima (Sinttrahol).
At the end of the presentation PERUAP said thank you to all
the friends of the Project for their help throughout the last ten years and
said that the project would be continuing the Nueva Esperanza shanty town as
well as other community projects.
