"No one remembers us. Only you.”
by Tim and Penelope Eicher
"No one remembers us. Only you.”
With these few words, the Native Q'ero people reminded us many times during our recent visit that our annual expedition into their remote territories in the Andes gives them dignity and hope.
We were delighted to see so much progress in each village. We visited school houses, greenhouses, elderly, and family homes. We met with every community to discuss strategies for sustainable solutions to severe poverty. In every villages we were impressed by an increasing cohesion among the people and their hopefulness for a better future for their children.
We heard heart-breaking stories of suffering and inspiring stories of hope in every village. Together we reviewed their accomplishments and progress. We were impressed by their growing empowerment, skills, and dignity in these ethnic people formerly forgotten and abandoned by time.
Working as partners, we outlined possibilities for sanitation systems, more trout projects, and greenhouses for every family. We renewed efforts to record stories and knowledge of the elders to be published into story books for the children. We explored ways to improve education for all the children. We listened with heart and responded as good friends do – with a deep desire to see them achieve their dreams to provide health, education, and well being to their children and grandchildren.
