Help
Children in Peru !
If you're coming to Peru please help contribute
towards one of our community projects. We need warm
clothes, toys, books and school equipment. Just pop a
few things in your suitcase and bring them with you to
Cusco, we'll do the rest.
South Adventure Peru tours Community Projects
Many visitors to Peru are surprised by the genuine
warmth and kindness offered by many local people during
their visit. This applies not just to the staff working
in the hotels and tour companies but also the locals
you'll meet in the street, the market traders and the
porters on treks. It is understandable that many
visitors want to show their gratitude and would like to
help give something back in some small way. Since our
web site now attracts a considerable number of visitors
we felt that we could help some of the people living in
the more needy communities in Peru, many of whom aren't
yet sharing in the financial benefits brought by tourism.
1. Education: Donations and Distribution of School
Equipment
This is a simple project aimed particularly at
school teachers and school groups visiting Peru.
Individuals may be interested in bringing along a few
items of school equipment such as books, pencils, pens,
crayons, paints and paper which we will distribute to
several schools in the villages surrounding Cusco and
further a field. With time we hope to build up a good
relationship with some of the more under-resourced
schools and provide prizes for the best painting/picture
or student.
2. Second Hand Clothes & Toys Appeal
If you are coming to Peru please bring a few items of
clothing or toys and drop them off in our office in
Cusco ( Calle Carmen 235 San Blas Cusco-Peru). We'll
ensure that they are distributed to people who will
really appreciate them. All types of clothing are needed
for babies, children and adults. If at the end of your
trip you no longer have need for your sleeping bag, rain
jacket or walking boots we'll find a trekking porter who
will be more than happy to accept them.
