International Volunteers bringing solutions for Street
Kids, abandoned children and mothers in Peru, Latin
America
Our mission is to improve the quality of life for e65children
as we can, also to help abandoned and single mothers
through our program for international volunteers, working
in Latin America. In order to turn street kids and child
laborers into students, we are prepared to give them
food, clothing, medical, psychological and social assistance.
We also help with basic education and work skills training
- including reading, writing, maths, English and computer
basics.
Kids have the right to be fed, clothed, sheltered and
educated by their parents. When parents are unable or
refuse to do this: then society must intervene. Bruce
Peru exists to feed, clothe, shelter and educate street
kids who have been let down by their parents and by
society.
HISTORY OF OUR VOLUNTEER WORK IN PERU, LATIN
AMERICA
We were formed as a registered Non Governmental Organization
(NGO) in Peru during the spring of 2001, as the latest
volunteer program of the private 27 year old NGO, Agenda
SOS International, Inc. ("Beloved Child").
Our work since 2001 has consisted of providing some
form of assistance to over 5,000 street kids and 2,000
impoverished mothers in and around the north Peru city
of Trujillo. In the Peru beach town of Delicias we have
acquired a large ocean-front property, on which we are
constructing a shelter for abandoned pregnant adolescent
rape victims (street kids), of which there sadly are
many in this part of Latin America. In 2004 we began
to broaden our program in Latin America to other cities
in Peru, and have plans to extend our volunteer program
to educate street kids into other Latin American countries
with large street kid populations. To view our history
prior to 2001, please go to "Beloved
Child". During our entire history we have been
financed either by gifts from our founders or by self
sustaining volunteer projects. In 2004 we are, for the
first time, exploring ways to broaden our funding base
in order be able to bring our successful program for
street kids to as many Latin American cities as fast
as we can. We have been inspired by the generosity of
numerous international volunteers who have come from
all over the world to help in our program save and educate
street kids.
