Peru Update



Hi, I just would like to share one of the passions I have, and it my be your love too.  In December 2012 I took most of that month off so that I could be of volunteer service to an Organization that has been helping the poor and indigines families in the high mountains (8-9000 ft.) near Cusco Peru. “Make more bricks”, she ordered! ;-)



I paid for all my expenses just as the other five Europeans has done just like me. We all lived in a small two story house in the wonderful Ollantaytambo  (Oh-yan-tie-tam-bow)  The only occupied living Inca Village.






Leander  runs the service and has Mayra directing the helpers as myself accomplish the big daily care and help to the men,woman and children of the area. We daily help in the safe transportation of the 10 -12 kids ages 6 to 15 to their special needs school  Arco Iris in Rubamba. They are such loving and fun children.

At times Mara has us transiting small villages and up or down hills to deliver clothing to the needy. It makes them so happy to be able to have something used and in nice condition. Most of this clothing was gifted items to the organization.



The best place to eat in Ollantaytambo is the Coffee Tree.

At one time, we went to seek out a particular family to provide clothing , tooth brushes and to insure that they were going to keep a family medical appointment in town. I wish you could have seen Mara express in detail the importance of this appointment for the family! She is such a caring and loving dear. Love you Mara!




At the end of school year My Small Help. Org Peru, helps the school have an end of school year celebration. Leander had arranged in obtaining 40 pounds of whole chickens, loaves and loaves of sweet bread for the school. I am sure it was a strain on their budget as well as the venders to may have donated. As you can see, everyone had a great time and hard working Mara took a needed nap. (see below photo, she’s so cute)






There is really so much more help that is really needed here in the Inca Sacred Valley of Cusco. I invite you, if it is in your heart to contact ‘My Small Help.Org. ‘ and send a Donation or even yourself in Loving person. You will be smiling with loving memories as I am right now!


Thank You, from me and the people of Peru and ‘My Small Help .org’.  Cheers!
