| Our campaign to get the National Government of
Peru to recognise the large population of Peruvian children who are not receiving
education, and to do something effective to get these children educated. [We are
offering our own successful progects as one example] is now being launched! CLICK |
| We
are honoured and grateful that so talented and motivated a team have come together
to direct and people this campaign. |
 This month
we hosted a medical team from the USA,, here to treat some of our poorest children.
They held clinics in 7 of our neediest communities, treating over 100 children
each day. More than 700
patients treated & saved at least 2 lives.

volunteers who have served or are serving at the various centres of Bruce Peru.
Also photos of some of our children in class, & at play.
| Note: So far all 185 children we enrolled, none of whom
were bound for school before we found them, are still attending. One boy in Cusco
has even been voted best student in his entire school, another, in Trujillo is
a maths genius. | |
| Many children
not in school live in the White City of Arequipa: Peru's second largest city.
With a little help from our friends we intend to open our project in
Arequipa, within the next few months - where our volunteers will go out to satellite
centres in the Arequipa's barrios, and there they will help some of the Ande's
poorest children.

It takes 2 Years !.
When we find a child, convince the mother to let us get him or her educated, take
them into our little school, give them their first lessons; finally get them up
to the level of education for their age, and matriculate them into a state school
(paying for uniforms and all expenses): our work for that child is only just begun
(2 years)
..
Above are club meetings 7
June 2006 | 
We continue to work with each child, and will do so for the next two years. Visiting
every month for a "Club Meeting" , at which we monitor their progress,
give prizes, work with their techers, our Social Workers see how things are going
at school, at home: and we pay for wehatever their parents cannon or will not.
We do this for two years. |
 | The Ministry
of Education have invited us to install our little schools for very poor children
within sellected primary and secondary schools. We have agreed to operate a pilot
in one school, and if the relationship works: will consider others. | | Full story
 Our children were
not in the Tsunami (though one of our volunteers survived it).This is a parabole
- In the same way the Tsunami captured the news headlines and the whole world
got involved, yet the same number of lives are lose each week to starvation: which
goes unreported: so it is with our chidren. The whole world knows about "street
children", most people have seen them - if only on TV - and there are NGO's set
up to help (though of course they need lots more than this). The category of children
we serve far outnumbers those who live in the street, and they are almost as badly
off. So why does the world not know about them? Because they sleep under plastic
or in a woven mat shelter in utter poverty with uncaring or abusive parents -
they must find their own food, get their own clothes; they don't go to school:
they are abandoned in their own homes. That's why the world does not know about
them. But we know they are there, that they suffer, and we have come to find them,
to help.
Won't you join us!. | |
