Times changed

I came back from Cusco the last weeks ago and I had a really great experience at San Nicolas Urraca. But I'm really sad to tell, that something terrible had happen. The new bathrooms that you can see working on the other volunteers chrashed down. There was a building site behind the project and one night the ground slided down including the bathrooms, the half of the teaching room and 3 other houses from the neibourhood. The building company left, left the chaos and the costs for the other people.




Luisa and the other women feel really sorry and miserable about the situation and it's hard because they can't show her sadness to the children. They are really strong and the project has to go on. So we need help, because they don't have the money to rebuild everything.




The women are weaving a special kind of scarfs and when I saw it I had an idea and I helped them to find a person with a shop who can pay the wool, buy the scarfs and sell it in there own shop. I hope this business is running soon and they have a little but stabil source of income soon.

The children are still as adorable and awesome as they are descriped in the other posts, but they still need help and at the moment there are not a lot of volunteers. I'm looking forward to come back one day. - Susann from Germany
