We salute our
Volunteers who keep returning
|
|
|
(While many others still work with us in their home
countries) When we started our volunteer program we didn't
dream so many kind talented people would take up the challenge
of aiding 's poorest children as their own personal project.
Thank you all..Story

In April
2001 our founder arrived in Trujillo, Peru to put into practice
certain theories he had been working on designed to solve
the growing problem of school age children not receiving education.
Throughout Latin America between a fifth and a quarter of
all children are not in school.- most but not all of them
are qualified Street Children.
He did not come unprepared. His first project for at risk
children was in 1960, and he started his first NGO in 1976.
In Trujillo he went right to work proving and disproving one
theorem after another. Sponsor 15 mothers clubs if every mother
agreed to let him get their children into school. Open a chain
of free soup kitchens for children who agreed to let him put
them into school. Use theatre, music and dance to captivate
street children and register them into school. Funding came
from his own means and those of his family.
Soon he was joined by others - teachers, social workers, psychologists,
service personnel and lots of university students; some were
paid staff, most were volunteers.
For three years he and his team struggled against ignorance,
poverty, indifference, corruption, mediocre results and what
seemed to be a conspiracy to cover up the true number of children
being denied their right to an education: (the Government
said 96% of children in Peru attend school, UNICEF quoted
this figure) - but we produced evidence showing that only
76% of the nations children were actually in school. Since
the magnitude of the problem is thus concealed, no otherinstitution
or ngo is dedicated to helping these children..
During this period lots of extremely poor children did get
fed, clothed, medicated and educated; by us: but never enough
fast enough to be considered "The Solution" ..
Then in early 2004 we began to implement what later developed
into our current, effective solution to locating, recruiting
and educating street children. Since then we have implemented
this solution throughout Peru, and since 2006 have been introducing
it into other Latin American countries.
