This is an email received by my friend Maria Eugenia de Aliaga who is helping a wonderful school, Wiñaypag, get rebuilt. We have already sent supplies and are working with Maria to gather more support. Thank you for taking the time to read and watch the video! Again, 100% of your support goes directly to these children!

Good day to all!

Like many of you already know, the Southern Area of Peru has been affected by heavy rains and many brothers have lost everything due to the landslides and floods. Last week, during the night of February 28^th, the village of Taray (Cusco, Sacred Valley of the Incas) was devastated by the overflow of Qoricocha lake, with the Qoricocha Lake, with the sad result of 7 people dead and tens of people missing.

One of the victims of this disaster was the Intercultural School Wiñaypaq, literally swallowed by the fury of the waters. This school had been giving free school education since 5 years ago to 40 children from neighbor communities.  The Education Project Wiñaypaq, founded by Waldi Stölben and Alonso del Río, believes in an education based in Love, reciprocity, mutual breeding and respect and harmony between all our relations and  above all with Mother Earth.

The indigenous communities and the incredible cultural richness that Peru has is  our most valuable heritage. Even though our “modern” world doesn’t understand this, schools like Wiñaypaq, in Cusco,  work in making them stronger, recovering our legacy so like this we can stand on a healthy and strong self steem and build like this a different world.

To support education is to support the future.

All kinds of help are welcome!  Let’s prove together that union and solidarity is a powerful force of reconstruction and creation.
