Hello everyone

As you can see I've decided to raise remotely for Project Peru in the run up to Christmas. I was hoping to organise an event in London but just haven't had enough time.

Below is a brief update on the projects we have fundraised and paid for in the last year in Peru. These are difficult times for our friends there with 60% unemployment, a government that don't really care and hundred of families suffering from living in extreme poverty.

We continue to raise funds to keep our children's home open but also for various projects in the surrounding shanty towns. These projects include a half way house for vulnerable women and children, a soup kitchen for children and the elderly as well continuing to support the women's co-operatives who make their living from making crafts that we sell on our stalls here!

Our own children's home is going from strength to strength with the children studying hard at school, rehearsing for the annual Christmas play not to mention all the hard work they with the staff have put into our fantastic new vegetable garden!

As you know, there are always projects we want to undertake to make lives easier for the wonderful people out there but in order to do this we need to constantly raise funds. If you could donate just £10 at least to the site we'd be grateful. We understand how busy you all are so this is the perfect way to support our ongoing work.

Many thanks,
