Project Peru

We still have a few places left for cyclists for our Sponsored Bike Ride

One of our volunteers in Peru in early 2012 brought his football coaching skills into play during the school holidays by organising football for all ages,  and other sporting activities, in our refuge and also in nearby Las Laderas.

If you have any professional or other skills and time to offer, do be in touch to discuss opportunities for volunteering with us.

email us on information@projectperu.org.uk 

All the children who are resident in our refuge go to the neighbouring school - attending either for the morning or the afternoon sessions depending on their age. They are  supported by Project Peru in the purchase or provision of a full range of books and educational materials, buying school uniforms, paying the obligatory annual matriculation fee for each child, and other parental contributions. This is a considerable expense particularly at the start of each school year in March. Any help with funds to cover these costs would be much appreciated.

On March 8^th 2012, as part of Rushmoor Borough Council [Hants] Fairtrade Fortnight, Project Peru contributed to an evening with the theme 

A Peruvian Fair Trade Experience

by providing a menu of Peruvian food to taste, Peruvian music and sales of Peruvian crafts.

Our garden was originally bare sand but now we are producing fruit and vegetables for our consumption, as well as trees, shrubs and flowers.

A recent crop included plums and chillies  .

We do need your support to continue this work.

We send a cargo twice a year and our recent delivery, together with many other items, included materials and books for our new library as well as educational and recreational toys for our new play room. We have  a number of pre-school age children living with us now in our refuge and we are developing this facility. And our primary school age children enjoyed new track suits thanks to a donation from a  school in the UK.
