Annual Race & Garage sale

Every year Peruvian Project board and supporters have a annual Garage sale to help raise money to help each of the kids in these programs. Just $100 will support one kid with school supplies and a tutor for the entire year!

This year not only was their a garage sale of donated items but there was a race to raise money. This was done by the National Honor Society of Wheatland Chili Jr-Sr High school. This year they raised $800! Congrats to these students on this effort! They plan to do this annually for Peruvian Project! Below are some pictures of the race participants!

Spring Update


Peruvian Project Inc President took his annual visit to Moyobamba.

First good news! The municipality has presented them with a letter saying they now own property where the kids can come to permanently study. Here are a few pictures of a Tambo being built so they have a place to study.





After this is built a sink and a bathroom will be built. Little by Little a great place is being made for the kids. Eventually the kids will have a permanent building to study in.

The Kids had a treat: Chelsea Carl who visited the kids last summer donated two cakes and drinks to celebrate Birthdays!

The Kids almost never get a special treat such as Cake! They really enjoyed themselves

Peruvian Project Inc, President emailed to tell about the big move the center in Moyobamba was taking:

Today we worked all morning clearing the property - getting ready for the big move. You should see the garden! I got Absalom started last October and he cleared the whole back area and built planting beds and is now on about his 3rd or fourth planting of lettuce, radishes, cilantro, and onions- The kids are eating lots of it for lunches and he is selling the rest to local restaurants at a nice profit! :-).




Next week I will post some more photographs!
