Donate materials

All kinds of materials are needed, from school books, maps, notebooks and so on for the library, to craft materials for general and specific workshops, games, balls and so on.

Some of the projects involve parents and children. They attend workshops and work together, promoting communication, to re-establish traditional weaving and knitting techniques, producing saleable items such as blankets and hats. These workshops run for 3 months, and materials are required.

From 2007 onwards one of the main proposals is to provide as many school children as possible with the school materials they need for the year at a cost of US$22 per child.

Donate money

All donations to date have been used for the library and for the programmes mentioned above. The staff consists of professional Peruvians, who work voluntarily, dedicated to the children and families of this community. In the future it may be possible to employ further profesionals to help run the project. All donations are accounted for and reports are produced.
