In going down to Peru, we were connected to a woman's organization entitled 'Friends of Peru'. I met Gianina through my home church, as she has been very outspoken about her passion for this ministry through her own experience growing up in Peru. Friends of Peru is devoted to improving the lives of the most impoverished families of Peru by providing a strong faith based education program that enables them to change their world.
Their purpose is to outreach and provide the resources necessary so that children and their families can achieve their full potential by promoting academic preparedness, leadership development, self-sufficiency, self-esteem, and the teaching the word of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Among their programs of family crisis counseling, education, skills training, business guidance and assistance, and spiritual mentorship, we were able to contribute both to training in hygiene and spiritual mentorship. The Friends of Peru website elaborates on this, as one can seek out opportunities to help. Friends of Peru
