Project:  Aldea Infantil, Peru
Aldea Infantil is an orphanage to the south of Trujillo, Peru, managed by Sra. Blanca Esther Castillo Martell. Homes in this orphanage (shelters housing 10 children each with a small kitchen and living room) are a European concept built with government aid. Up-keep, daily needs of the children and educational programs have been left to those running the home. Over 80 children at the Aldea Infantil work their land and have established a successful strawberry industry (they are delicous!), have a growing guinea pig production (they are big!) and are planning to create a dairy. Blanca, and Aldea Infantil, has partnered with Eagle Condor Humanitarian for internships to work one-on-one with children to help them develop skills for personal growth and self-reliance.
