Jaimie, Ben, Grant, Raelene, Debra, Tom F and Sean (and some spouses/guests) went to Huancayo Peru for our 1st of 3 years working on a project to help educate street kids. This initial trip will be to evaluate the project for grants, and to do what work we can in preparing the building to be a school. We will work with the Rotary Club of Huancayo. Thanks to the Daybreak Club for the financial support for the travellers.

Huancayo (Wankayu in Quechua) is the capital of the Junín Region, in the central highlands of Peru. It is located in Huancayo Province, of which it is also capital. Situated near the Mantaro Valley at an altitude of 3,271 meters, it has a population of 323,054. Huancayo is the cultural and commercial center of the whole central Peruvian Andes area.
