Help us raise funds for Christmas and the new school year in the remote villages of the Peruvian Andes. Children are the ones that suffer the most and the true victims of circumstances. Living in isolation without medical help or income for basic survival needs. Amidst the geographical isolation and the economical abandonment these children lack basic education, basic things such as tooth paste, soap, shoes, toys.
A country without a welfare system and most aid projects mismanaged by organizations with pay roll structures that spend their funds in themselves, overlooking the basic core of the desperate need in which these broken families are found.
We understand that we can only do so much, however that is doing more than anyone. It is direct assistance and the goods are personally delivered to the children and single mothers in dire need for anything.

Our project in Peru is about promoting and employing artisans in need for a market place and promoting fair trade values. Along with our constant struggle to keep our 63 artisans working permanently and improving our facilities to offer a better work place, our staff undertakes small aide projects to families in catastrophic circumstances. We use our own funds to aid to someone in need for a cardboard roof or a hut for a homeless family or food for abandoned orphan children and so on. These are things that we deal with weekly and that our generous employees and our small firm despite their own circumstances and struggles must deal with. We can’t overlook these facts of life and walk away from them.

It is hard to see so much poverty close to where we work. The foothills around our workshop are plagued with cardboard huts and human beings in extreme poverty. Until you reach those sandy hills and walk the dirt trails marked by the bare feet of children that are barely clothed, it hits you and you realize how fortunate we are and what can we do to help make a difference, even if only small in proportion to the huge chaos around you. Many of our artisan’s came from these hills, without water, electricity, roads and with many abandoned children left to struggle drug addiction, prostitution and extreme hunger with no way out, no light at the end of this dark tunnel. Many women left alone with children to raise and feed in this calamity.

If you can contribute between September 15th and December 15th by either making a purchase we will direct 2.5% of our gross sales to rise these funds for Christmas or School, you let us know your preference, or by donating by check directly to Sanyork for our school and Christmas children’s fund in Peru or if you prefer drop one toy or  school supplies to our Denver office. Please leave your card to issue a thank you card on your behalf.
You as our client are already contributing to the promotion of fair trade and helping us keep our artisans employed.
Thank you for your generosity, if you wish to travel with us to Peru and witness first hand our artisan’s fair trade project; our small aid projects and the wonderful history and archeology of this struggling nation please ask us.
