Over the past week the problems of jealousy between the upper and lower communities of Paucarbamba have escalated. It has been decided between the Paucarbamba community and the Casa Hogar del Sol that the Cuylandia project most be moved to neutral ground.
As you can see from the photo of the Paucarbamba upper community below. They still really want to receive our help and are extremely disappointed that Cuylandia will not be built on the community land. They have therefore offered to provide the remaining 7000 adobe bricks at no cost to the Casa Hogar del Sol. This will enable us to recuperate the money lost in levelling the community land which is now not going to be used.
Volunteers from Loki hostel and other friends of Leander came to help move 2000 adobe bricks to the new land, which is situated just outside Pachar (between Paucarbamba and Ollantaytambo).
A new contract will be drawn up in the near future to include all family members from the Paucarbamba upper community that still want to be part of the Cuylandia project. In addition, the Casa Hogar del Sol will be inviting members of other local communities that have been affected by the floods to join the project, with a maximum number of members being set at 35 at this initial stage.
