 SUNday....
Well you might think that the objective of the day was for George's face to match the color of his shirt!!!! He succeeded because he is RED!!!! It was a relaxing day for a change. Sundays in Cusco are spent with family and friends, just enjoying time together. We started the day by meeting our Cusco family at the main cathedral and celebrating mass together. I am happy to say we filled a pew! We then went for brunch together and spent most of the afternoon in the Plaza de Armas people watching and enjoying the SUNshine, or could you tell already? It is back to work tomorrow, a meeting with Carlos to map out the week. |

 Paucarbamba is a small village close to Urubamba in the Sacred Valley, Peru. With the money sent by Desana, Carlos was able to open another food line in this village that was almost washed away in the flooding. Carlos designed a simple temporary dining hall to allow the people to get in out of the rain (and sun - when it is not raining).
Early today we went grocery shopping for 200 people. In a little over two hours we purchased enough food to last them a couple of days. While we were doing the shopping, Carlos was on his way to Paucarbamba with building materials for the dining hall. |

 Desana Inc. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that enriches and improves the lives of children of poverty. We are different from many charities, we give 100% of the money donated to fund the direct costs of our projects. What does that mean to you? Your dollars go further towards making a difference in the lives of these children. Desana currently has projects in Russia, and Peru. If you share the same passion and vision as us, you are most welcome to get involved ..... volunteer! The work is hard with long hours but the reward is more than you can imagine. Take the time to look at what we have accomplished and what we are still doing. We are so different from most charities or NGOs. All of us at Desana are volunteers. We have no payroll. The children in our projects get 100% of the money that is donated. We do not take on a project that we cannot fund. The Desana Board of Directors have agreed that if we cannot raise the money, we will pay the money. We will not let the children down. Follow our trips by reading our Blog --- you can set up the Blog to notify you of changes. Use the RSS Feed Option.
