News release December edition
Welcome to our 11th edition.
Welcome to this latest edition of the Peru Apurimac Project Bulletin. At this time of year it is customary to think of family and friends, and our thoughts go to the victims of the Peruvian Earthquake as well as to the victims of disasters both natural and man made throughout the world.
A message of peace and wellbeing for Christmas and for the New Year.
New Fundraising Event 8 December 2007
The Peru Apurimac Project is putting on a fund raising event at Carpenter Hall which is situated at 4a Inverness Place, Bayswater W2 3JF. The doors will open at 7pm and the event will finish at 11pm. Tickets will cost £7 and proceeds will go to help the earthquake affected area of southern Peru and to a community project in the shanty town Pachacutec, located in Ventanilla, Callao. This December the Peru Apurimac Project is celebrating its 7th year of fundraising to help community projects in Peru and would like to take this opportunity to thank the people living in the UK for their continued support.
Ceremony of the National Flag and “chocolatada” in Pedro Ruiz Gallo del Callao.
On 7th June, to celebrate the National Flag Day the Peru Apurimac Project funded a “chocolatada” for the children of a local infants and primary school. The children paraded to the square with the flag which was hoisted, the National Anthem was sung and a child dressed in a costume of the Peruvian Army of the 19th century entertained us with his dramatic recitation of a poem. Following the ceremony the children enjoyed a cup of hot chocolate and piece of chancay (a type of sweet bread). This event was jointly organised by Amistad groupd, the local neighbourhood association and Pedro Ruiz Gallo primary school.
Donation of toys to young victims of Peruvian Earthquake in Ica
The Project sent a sum of money to the Amistad group in Callao who bought toys which they took to the earthquake affected area of Ica. The Amistad group visited the school “CE Inicial Estatal No 73, and gave to children there. The money sent was raised in the concert given by Rosa Limaco and the money collected at the party organized by the Latinos of Richmond.
Visit to a local Parish in Pachacutec shanty town in Ventanilla, Callao
We paid a visit to one of the parishes of Pachacutec to meet with the choir who would like some help to purchase musical instruments. At present they sing and play using the few instruments they have for both church and social events and gave us a demonstration of their talents. Their enthusiasm was very infectious and we hope to be able to help them in the future.
Visit to Huancayo “Polivalente” School for disabled children
In January we visited the Polivalente school for children with a variety of disabilities, such as blindness, deafness, physical disabilities and learning difficulties. They also teach blind adults to live and get around independently. The headmaster and a teacher showed us round the school and told us of their need for a computer modern enough to use with the specialised programmes for the children they look after.
In June we were able to buy a computer with the specifications needed and presented it to the school at a small ceremony attended by the children with their teachers and a few parents. We were able to set up the computer and took a photograph of one of the children trying it out. The school is situated in Huancayo, a city in the central Andes of Peru.
Fund raising Concert given by Rosa Limaco
In September Rosa and Chano Limaco put on a concert to raise funds for the Peru Apurimac Project. Rosa sang traditional songs from Ayacucho with the accompaniment of Chano on the guitar. The concert was a great success with people dancing and enjoying the popular music from this area of Peru. Our thanks to ASOBOLCUYDE (Asociación boliviana de cultura y deportes), Raíces de Tarija, and Sin Fronteras group (Andean panpipes) for taking part in the show.
Participation of the group “Latinos de Richmond”
At an event organised by the group “Latinos de Richmond” we were very kindly allowed to make a collection on behalf of the Peru Apurimac Project. We are very grateful for their collaboration.
Collaboration with the Support Group “Amistad”
On 16th January 2007 the support Group Amistad was formed after a meeting of the Peruap Executive Committee, with the aim of opening channels of communication and coordination from London with the groups we support in Peru. In the meeting to outline the group’s Constitution, in which we attended as honorary members, the First Directive Committee was formed, with Mrs. Silvia Samanamud being elected President. Her supporters declared her identification with, and her desire to collaborate with the objectives of the Project.
About us
Peruap is a voluntary organisation that started in Dec 2001, with head quarters in London whose objective is to support small projects of a community nature in Peru. Its support is principally directed towards the most impoverished sectors of Peruvian society, focusing in particular on children, senior citizens and women. It began its work in some villages of Andahuaylas, in Apurimac, a quechua region in souththern Peru, hence the name of our organization, but has also lent help in other regions of Peru. Peruap aims to raise awareness of poverty in Peru in the UK and also to establish links of cultural and social nature between our communities. The funds it receives are through fund raising events carried out in London, as well as from generous donations from friends in the UK.

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.
