I hope all is well with you. To give us a huge boost this week (Monday 4th to Friday 8th April) GlobalGiving will be 50% matching all individual donations to this page of up to $50 which is a fantastic opportunity for the projects as we aim to recover from the past two years and build towards a better sustainable future. If you can it would be fantastic if you could donate this week and your donation will go even further.
With 2022 now three months old it is already very different to the previous two years with all the students back in the classroom finally. We are aiming to maintain all the classrooms secure for daily teaching with cleaning products available. Looking ahead donations permitting, whilst continuing to cover our daily costs of the projects, we aim to make a concerted effort to implement family sustainable income plans with small enterprises over the coming months. Thanks to your continued support we have managed to keep the projects going through these hard times and once again, with your donations, we hope to be in a position to move forwards with confidence – thank you!
Ecuador restarted the second half of the school year in January and we continue to provide a basic daily food programme. Pawker Raymi was celebrated asking Pachamama (Mother Earth) for a good growing season and harvest. Pampa mesa (community eating) was enjoyed as always! Perú finally got back into the classrooms at the end of March for the first time since December 2019 and student numbers have swelled as more families migrate from the altiplano and jungle to try and find work in Arequipa though end up in the pueblos jovenes on the outskirts of the city in the desert where we work. We will be restarting our daily fruit programme as well as pay for the gas to cook breakfast drinks.
In the next few months we hope to build school vegetable gardens for the daily food programme and also implement various family sustainable income plans to help with household costs.
All the best for April and thank you in advance for your continued support.
Cheers
