We apologize for the delay on our further posts! Cusco and its surrounding cities continue to surprise us with the peoples desire to learn and to grow. Ascend continues its work in San Sebastian, Huaro, Quenqo and recently Huasau.
Tim and Jared (Ascend Interns) have recently undertook a project in the orphanage San Judas Chico. Although they are no "gardening" experts, they we are able to contact Wilson Fitzgerald Velarde and together begin the project. The greenhouse was already built but the soil was in bad condition. After a hard days work, they completed the preparatory cleaning and weeding so that next week the seeding process can begin.
Quenqo is a city about 2 hours out of Cusco and has been an area where Ascend intends to continue its work. 2 school rooms are in the process of completion here and with some more work throughout the month, the completion of these rooms will provide spacious areas for the students and an excellent environment for learning. Tim, Jose Luis and local police support, Wilson Fitzgerald Velarde were able to visit the community last week. The children appreciated the safety and health lesson that an official police officer was able to teach them in both Spanish and Quechua.
Ascend continues to focus on the needs of the children of each community. Education is important to these children and can provide the opportunity to rise above poverty and live healthier lives. Our work here has just begun and we realize we have a lot ahead of us. We will continue our efforts in helping people and communities grow.
