The Diversity of Lima

Recently we've been running around Lima meeting with businesses and individuals to invite them to work with us and participate in the upcoming Gala. As a result of these visits I've been able to travel through many different parts of Lima. From the coastal swamps of Chorrillos to the dusty hills of Huaycan; from the historic El Augustino to the trendy streets of Miraflores, it's amazing how much diversity exists within one city.

Reflecting on the differences that there are between different parts of the city I began to think of the communities where we are working. While there may not be much that separates these people geographically, there exists an enormous gap economically. The work we are doing is helping to minimize that gap and give needy people a chance of a better life. My recent experiences have given me much to think about. There's a lot of work to do and a lot of people to help, but we can make a difference.
