Dear friends of Bruce Peru Cusco, You may have served as a volunteer and personally know the children who were with us while you were in Cusco. Or you may have passed through Cusco and met some of the Bruce Peru staff and volunteers in one of our events, or visited one of our schools. However you are connected to Bruce Peru Cusco or have learned of us; you are aware that we find and work with the poorest, most abandoned little children living in shanties on the hillsides surrounding Cusco. Primarily we teach them - and in the act of doing this we give them some nutrition, some clothes and medical attention (some, because we are not an aid charity, we are educational). We teach them the basics so they can enter the class they would have been in had they attended school all along. We take responsibility for getting them accepted in the nearest state school (they  need to pass an entrance exam), we register them, buy their uniforms, give them a starter kit containing the basics in school materials, and we continue to be involved with them for the next two years, we are responsible for them. [See an example of how this works: http://bruceperu.org/porvanir2007.html ]. The State has recognised the value of our work with two awards in the past year. Even so all our funding comes from you and from our quizzes and promotions in Cusco . Please dig deep or else give a little each month. You have been there and know how much we can do for the children on only a little funding.

Throughout Latin America over 20% of school age children fail to receive an
education. They are the poorest of poor children, semi abandoned or street kids.
Bruce Peru exists to provide an education to marginalised children in Peru.
