Back to Paucarbamba

George, Cathy, Amanda, Alex, Carlos and I, along with some Peruvian friends, took along the regular food delivery to the community of Paucarbamba today. We are currently providing food for this community which is delivered 3 times per week.

As ever the community were pleased to see us and as we drove up lots of people were working on salvaging items from their houses to assist with the rebuild.

The comedor we provided is being used and it made me chuckle to see the meal times pinned to the front wall.

We then spent lots of time speaking with the people of the community to try and understand what they need to get themselves back on their feet and to make themselves self sufficient on the coming months, easing their dependence on the food line.

We have lots of things to think about and organisations to approach. Watch this space!
