WAWA Newsletter Spring 2008

After our first fund raising in 2002 we took US$500 to Peru, which we used to provide 50 children with materials for one year at school. In 2007 Wawa spent US$15,000 on education for more of the poorest children in Peru and the amount available for 2008 is US$17,500. The aim of the charity remains the same: to provide the poorest children with improved educational and medical resources.

We continue to support the communities of Huacoto, Conchacalla, Usphabamba and Cachupata.
