Participate in San Nicolas Urraca new projet from home!

With a lot of motivation, the moms from San Nicolas have started a new project "San Nicolas Urraca Tejidos" in order to gather some money and to rebuild the local! You can help them out even from home!!


Indeed, Luisa, Ana and all the others are knitting scarves and chalinas made out of 100% Alpaca (see the pictures)! If you are interested in buying one or several for yourself or for a gift (Christmas is just around the corner!) or if you have any contacts that could commercialize them outside of Cusco or even Peru, do not hesitate to get in contact with Luisa (sannico44@hotmail.com) or with the blog crew for English speakers (sannicolasurraca@gmail.com).

If you wish, you can even make a special request (in terms of colors, model etc...) and Luisa will try to accomodate it as best as she can!

Many thanks in advance from Luisa, the kids and everyone involved to support this project and the association!

San Nicolas' new challenge

As mentionned by Susann in the previous post, San Nicolas is facing a new unexpected challenge as part of the local has unfortunately collapsed due to near-by construction... As a result, Luisa and the kids are left without a the storage room and the bathrooms that had been constructed thanks to a fundraising organized by volunteers back home. The back, the only place where kids could play outside, with games bought by past volunteers have also been partly destroyed and are unaccessible since it is too dangerous.

Even in such a hard time, San Nicolas doesn't give up and is ready to overcome this new challenge. Luisa, Ana and the mothers of the kids have thus decided to start a new project in order to find funds for reconstruction! Since August, they are knitting scarves that they are selling in order to collect some money for future works.

Here are some pictures of the situation, and if you want to help out, read the article "Participate in San Nicolas Urraca new projet from home!".
