We are in Huancayo, Peru working as volunteers with the\u00a0Peru Children’s Trust<\/a>
\nand with prayer support of our home church,\u00a0Gateway Vineyard<\/a> in Norwich (UK), and others.<\/p>\n

Huancayo is a large (population of 0.5 million) and progressive Peruvian city in the mountains,
\nwhich enjoys views of snow-capped peaks on clear days.<\/p>\n

Huaytapallana Overlooking Huancayo<\/p><\/div>\n

It is highly important to Peru, being the major agricultural area supplying goods to the capital, Lima.
\nIt is also conveniently situated on trade routes into the jungle.<\/p>\n

The work of the\u00a0Peru Children’s Trust<\/a> has gradually developed over the last 20 years and can be largely separated into two main areas: Child Sponsorship for Education (the very poor cannot afford to buy the necessary to send their children to school and many local youth are illiterate) and a Training Centre, where anyone over secondary school age can learn a trade at very low cost that will then help them to find work, earn money for their families and break the poverty cycle.<\/p>\n

While as volunteers we would be very keen to hear from anyone wishing to\u00a0help us financially<\/a>, details of how to specifically support either of these areas are available on the\u00a0Peru Children’s Trust<\/a> website.<\/p>\n

As well as being involved in day-to-day management decisions, Paul is involved in many different projects to help the families (money management, savings schemes, water and sanitation, nutrition and home gardening, smokeless stoves) and also teaches business start-up at the Training Centre. Here are further details of\u00a0his work<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rachel works at a local language institute, teaching English.<\/p>\n
