We recieved an increadible donation from a friend in Lima named Rosita, one hundred triple-ply wood sheets. These will be used to construct our proposed Cuy farm in Paucarbamba, although we have yet to decide on the final location.
We picked up the sheets in Cusco with our chauferred camión and began our lengthy journey into the Valley. After a beautiful 3 hour ride we arrived in Ollantaytambo at Carlos's house where the sheets will be stored untill we are ready to use them. Carlos's brother Rojelio, our friend Christian and our friendly driver unloaded the sheets into the watertight safety of one of the rooms.

This video was shot recently in Paucarbamba by David Francis for MySmallHelp (UK Charity and our partner in this project)...... it shows the devastation from the flooding that happened in January. Even though the worst flooding took place in January, the rains continue (it is the rainy season) and people are still suffering from the rains. More homes are lost, families separated from each other, government supplied tents are falling down. MySmallHelp and Desana are working with these people to help them get back on their feet. If you would like to donate, specify Cusco Emergency and 100% of your donation will go to help flood victims around Cusco. |

 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.
