New Schools in Isolated Villages Need Your Help
|
|
Without your help, the dreams of over 100 children will be lost. Many children in many parts of the Q’ero Nation have never seen a classroom, touched a book,
or even held a pencil until now.
|
|
HWF donors recognize that education holds the greatest hope for the future of the entire tribe. HWF is now supporting the first schools in three villages. Many hamlets still dream of having a teacher, and desks and books, offering their children dignity, literacy, and basic math skills. Invest in the future of an entire community.

Friends of Heart Walk Raise Funds for Village Schools
Dave and Nanette Pugsley want schools for children. So Nanette designed 50 collection cans to leave in businesses and homes, where people can contribute money that will help procure teachers, materials, and books for the first schools in Q’ero villages opened by HWF in 2008.
Yanaruma, Cochemarka, and Ayni School. |
Less than a dollar a day will educate a child.
Your pocket change can transform the life of a child.
|
Request one or more of these stunning coin collection cans for your home or workplace. Email us or contact Nanette at: npugsley [AT] gmail [DOT] com |

Vicente's Story: How Our Projects are Changing Lives and Building Futures
|
|
Vicente Sonq’o was born in a stone hut almost 40 years ago. His mother had to lie on dried grasses blanketing the dirt floor because there were no beds in the village. With unclean birth practices, and no doctors or nurses in the region, little Vicente was lucky to survive infancy. Almost half the babies at that time died in the region, and still do. |
Vicente endured many hardships, including the death of both his parents. He survived malnutrition, diarrhea, and respiratory infections that take the lives of many in the villages. Although there were no schools in these remote regions, this orphan boy grew into a hard-working young man motivated to help educate and improve the lives of his people.
|
In his late twenties, Vicente married Felicitas Apaza, and they had five children. Two died. All were born on grass-covered dirt floors with no clean water or medical services. Little had changed in the mountain villages since the births of Vicente and Felicitas. But the couple never gave up hope for a better future for their people. |
|
Vicente and Felicitas have joined efforts with Heart Walk Foundation to help fellow villagers to improve their agriculture, health, and food security. With help from HWF donors, their children can now attend school where there had never been schools. They have access to health care for the first time, including improved birthing practices.
Your donations are giving a better future to the children of Vicente and Felicitas. Please help us reach more children. Make a tax-deductible donation. |
Those people suffering, who are they?
I don’t know, but they are my people.
