Impression of the landscape
The birth of Despierta Coraz坦n In my memories I can almost feel the moment when I first got in touch with the most facinating culture - the real indians of my country of birth Peru. I still see them with their lamas and sheeps, fully packed, arriving in our village. You could hear them from far away, because the animals were wearing bells around their necks. While they came closer, the sound of the bells became friendly and harmonious. I ran outside and saw a group of strange and enourmous colorful dressed people. I asked my father who those people were and he said: They are coming from the highlands of the Andes de Punas about 120 km from here. They walked the whole way with their animals and products to engage countertrade in the lower villages and cities. They try to change their wool, alpaca meat and dry potatoes (chu単o) for wheat, sugar and oil. These people survivemy father said. I was so touched by what he said that I made the decision what ever it takes I will do something to help those people. I grew up with the message you can always share your bread with your fellow men who are less lucky and we learned that actions speak louder than words. Now, many years later, from the memories and warm feelings for those people in 2010 we founded Despierta Coraz坦n . Muchas gracias amigos, Liz Villagomez
Environmental circumstances (1) Highlands 3.500 to 4.500 meter height Extreme cold even in summer Small villages with communities of 100 to 200 people Mostly older people Young people leave the villages to try to find a better life in Lima the capital of Peru
Impression of the villages Central building of the village Typical stonehouses in the region
Impression of the villages Alpaca the only source of income Typical village in the mountains
Environmental circumstances (2) 3 hours walking distance to the next city where e.g. medicare is available Primitive houses grotty, drafty and always cold Only source of income trade of alpaca wool and meat No public transportation, some viallages dont even have a connection to a road Lamas = transportation
Environmental circumstances (3) No schools in the villages and also almost no teachers who could teach the kids No medicare Health issues because of insufficient nutrition Almost no help from the government Almost no contact with the outside world Ageing of the population
Problems (1) Primary source of income trade of alpaca wool Alpaca's are the only animals could live in the highlands Much lower revenue for the wool in the past years Intermediates earn a lot with the luxury wool but pay less and less to the people In some places the quality of the wool is getting less nutrition/grass for the animals has become worse (climate change) More animals dying as the result of longer and colder winters and the inferior nutrition
Problems (2) Almost no education No schools / teachers resulting in a high illiteracy rate No perspective for young people trek to Lima without a chance to get a job or house in this daily growing megacity Forgotten people no help of the government Poverty No good clothing for the rough environment kids without shoes in the freeze Bad and insufficient nutrition No medicare
Impression of the personal circumstances
Impression of the youngest ones
What do we want to achieve? Approve the source of income: Helping to set-up small trade companies Trading the alpaca wool independently Teach the people in basic economy Schools for all children Medicare and better nutrition Safe the culture and traditions of the region Stop the trek to the big cities to avoid slums as e.g. in Rio de Janeiro
Impression of the first steps
Small gifts big impact
How are we going to do this? We believe in the small gifts any of us can effort. With our growing network of friends of Despierta Coraz坦n and our helping hands in Peru we will step by step try to reach our goals. Al the year through we organize activities to collect money e.g. tombolas 2x a year, selling peruvian products on local markets, etc. Organizing events as e.g. the original latin night with peruvian food, salsa music and latin spirit. Organize travels to Peru with or without guiding! Want to know more? Want to join us? Visit our facebook site and become a FRIEND! Hasta luego amigos!
