Wow! The foundation has made enormous progress in a very short time! Ana Morrow from the Peru Club had decided to come with us on our January 21st trip and introduce us to her many friends in Peru in hopes of increasing our ability to help the people there. There was a $15,000 donation of medical equipment from a generous doctor in Littleton, Colorado. Otherpower had donated time to help us bring light to villages that do not even have kerosene lamps and there has been great progress in finding a micro hydro generator that can be used in the amazon to light up villages. American Innovations has donated solar rechargeable lamps. One lamp can light up a whole room and these will be used in community centers for kids to study at night and adults to bring their work to earn extra income.

All of this has allowed a foundation, that was only a dream 2 months ago, magnify our efforts and bring to bear a great amount of help to these people. In the West, we don't realize how many opportunities we have even if we come from less privileged families. In these villages it doesn't matter how much ability you have, how hard you are willing to work, or what sacrifices you are willing to make. There is NO opportunity to make your life better or to provide better for your children. All these people need is the smallest window of opportunity to greatly improve their lives.

  1. How often are you sending groups to the Peruvian Jungle?

  2. Each one of us must be persuaded that service and sacrifice for the well-being and happiness of others are far superior to making one's own comfort and possessions the highest priority.
