"My last week of volontary work in Cusco (Peru) was full of tears....you know me. I was very busy arranging all the last details. Lots of hugs untill I couldn't take anymore, and a wonderfull goodbye. The children had studied a little dance and the wrote me 2 songs. Leaving these little ones nehind wasn't easy. Hugging until the last moment, and all those little faces asking me when I was coming back..."

But I had already decided I wanted to do something to assure a better and independant future for the children of Cusco and envirnoment. So in May 2006 I returned to Peru and started talking to people about the study trajects of older children. For those there weren't many options. The little ones, yes, they are educated and supported, but after their 18 years of age they found themselves alone again. After 2 visits to Peru I was sure I wanted to help out the older children, to help them find a good education and a decent job.
