Changes for New Hope, Peru

I have been amazed by my reception here in Peru since I arrived in January 2009. I have been introduced to, and befriended some incredible people who have enhanced my life as much as I intended to enhance their lives by the work I had intended to accomplish here. The people that I love are the ones who step up, ask how they can help and what more they can do. There are many people like that here in Peru. There are many people like that in the world. People that you do not have to convince that Peruvian children are starving, they know it, and act in whatever way they can to relieve the suffering of the children.   I have learned to listen to a few things I hear about...

funds for a new dining hall

Golok Sengcham Drukmo Home for Girls, China

As a result of the recent Yushu earthquake, the Chinese government did building inspections on neighboring areas. They deemed one section of our dormitories and our dining halls unsuitable and have forced us to tear it down. The government offered to pay for the dormitories, but not the dining hall. Without a dining hall the girls eat outside and in the classrooms. We currently still need over $19,000 to finish construction before winter. The winters here are incredibly harsh and eating outside would be difficult if not impossible.
