News from the Huaura Community Center – Peru
Thank you to our donors and to all the people of good will who do everything to help and support others. The money we had for food aid or the local canteen, to support women in their activities and the elderly, has arrived. This has allowed us to help the vulnerable among our people. We were able to buy food to improve our local cuisine and, especially, to operate the local canteen which aims to help people who do not have the means to cook or to have a meal a day. Truly the Holy Spirit has done his work! Every day, we can feed at least 80 to 100 people, especially whole families who eat there or who come to have a takeaway meal to go and eat with their family. The elderly, who cannot walk, receive their food at home.
What we have had for the activities of the Huaura Community Center has helped us with the handicrafts that the women make and sell to help their families (income-generating activities). It has also helped us to create encounters, to give life and joy to the neediest of our people. With health promoters, doctors and a gynaecologist, we carry out health campaigns: free consultations, massages, nail cuts, haircuts, to promote especially the elderly, children and women. Awareness-raising sessions on hygiene have been organised, etc. And we were able to buy equipment and pay for transport.
A big thank you to you, God bless you!
¡Muchísimas gracias por su Ayuda!
