3 July 2008
There was the annual meeting of the association at the end of March. It was the occasion to present a very positive assessment of the second year of the association in terms of the number and the quality of the projects supported in Peru. The results were also excellent on the level of the collected funds and the confidence which is granted to us by people, partners and other organizations whose supports are very important for us.
In terms of events, we took part in a secondhand market in May which enabled us to collect more than 650 € to finance the projects. At the end of June, we proposed a brunch in a very beautiful Italian restaurant “Peonia Coffee” in Boulogne Billancourt which its owner lent it to us for the occasion. The people present got a very pleasant moment. We could speak about the projects in progress and the actions coming. The benefits of this meal were of 750 €.
Concerning the projects in Peru, we are regularly in contact with Franck who began a mission of more than 6 months in Huancavelica and works on all the activities and logistic aspects of a circuit of alternative tourism implying mainly the Pukullawa local structure. In addition, the first 2 volunteers of Solidaile, Alexis and Julia, are awaited for the end of August always in Huancavelica. They will give courses of extra teaching (English and mathematical) to the children and teenagers of the Pukullawa structure.
I will go myself 3 weeks this summer in Peru in order to visit our projects and to start 7 new collaborations. It will be also the occasion to meet local structures and to talk about possible futures micro projects for 2009. During these moments, we will try to take pictures and to film scenes as much as possible illustrating the best as possible the projects. These videos will be included in the website of the association next September.
Among the good news, we are happy to count a new partner since April, the Globanet company specialized in data processing. There is also one of our request files of funds with a foundation which was accepted for the support of an educational project.
Waiting to see you in the next newsletter, the Solidaile team wishes you very beautiful holidays and thanks you for your supports and the interest which you carry in all actions.
