Living in Peru : your everyday companion

Comunidad de Niños Sagrada Familia

 

The Comunidad de Niños Sagrada Familia, founded in 1989 by Miguel Rodriguez, is currently home to over 600 children, mainly from Lima and Cuzco. These children are left either by their families, the government, or in the case of kids living on the streets, are willingly taken to live at the home.

At the home, they teach the children the importance of values, and to consider themselves a family. All the children go to school and do extra lessons and activities at the home, as well as helping with chores, cooking or caring for the younger children.

Sagrada Familia does not receive any government support so funding comes mainly from donations in addition to some self-generated income from their workshops. The most important workshops are bakery, carpentry and ceramics, which also allow the kids to learn trades that will be useful to them in the future.

English-speaking volunteers interested in helping can contact Cristina Espejo at 9346-2829 or 446-5264.

Is this the Ciudad de los ninos in Lima run by the monks? Your description sounds very similar to the information I got from the monks while in Lima last year.  I visited there in June of 2008 with the intention of returning to volunteer. I have since mentioned the facility to others, one of which is a college student in San Diego who is interested in volunteering for two weeks as soon as he completes the semester in May 2009.

Please provide me with information about your volunteer program.  If you have information about the aforementioned facility, please provide me with both your information and contact information about them.

Thank you for your kind help.

Hola Miguel:
No estoy seguro si esta es la organización del cual  vi el reporte in "Primer Impacto" de Univision. Hablaba del Padre o Hermano Miguel que empezó ayudando a 4 niños abandonados los llevó a vivir en su casa y ahora tiene ayudando a 600 niños. Lo malo que no da muchos detalles. No vivo en el Perú pero me gustaria enviar mi granito de arena para ayudar a este grupo, soy muy familiar con Villa la Paz in Chaclacayo a cargo del Dr. Tony Lazzara, me gustaria saber algo mas de Uds.
Que Dios le bendiga,

Louis
