Visit to Arariwa (farming micro finance organisation)


Four members of the disaster relief team, Leander Hollings, Louise Whitaker, Collette Brown, and Laura Routsong, made a visit to the Cuy Farm in Huayllapampa to further research the feasibility of promoting the Cuy as a viable and sustainable income for the village of Paucarbamba. The administration was very helpful in providing statistics, financial figures, and more in-depth information regarding the purchasing, raising, and selling of the Cuy. Spreadsheets have been created and meetings are being held to ensure all vital information is provided, before embarking upon implementation of the project. It’s important to have all variables known before making the decision to move in this direction. Thank-you to Freddy for having volunteered to be driver on this day.
