On Wednesday, July 5 Magali was at the village of Huaca de
Toro delivering the last of the items Promesa Peru had promised to the pronoei. Everybody looks happy, and most importantly the kids are off the floor.
The physical items…3 tables, 12 chairs, 2 storage shelves,
1 whiteboard, erasers and markers cost $380; within $3 of our estimate.
Transportation came to $63, $8 more than estimated. Magali’s time was 8 hours
for $49, though we suspect it took longer than that and she is donating to the
cause. The total project cost was $492.
We and the people of Huaca de Toro thank Chris Raupe, Clif
Brown, Denny Wallette, and The Alice Cool Foundation for making this project
possible.
This was Magali’s first solo project and our first remote
project. Overall it went better than anticipated. There were some communication
delays, primarily due to Magali’s other roles as a wife, mother and teacher,
something certainly understandable.
Magali has visited several villages this past month but is recommending
that we donate to only one of them; the village of Paredones San Juan mentioned
in an earlier post. Maribel and I still have not had the time to study the
information Magali sent to us, and with preparing for our house closing on Monday
it will probably take a few days more to sort it out.
