The last survivors,
Lucas and I (Kathryn), are here. Everyone else left for Machu Pichu and we are
left with the responsibility of the wrap up blog post. Overall this experience
was fantastic, I’ve made long lasting relationships with the team members here
and I truly don’t want to leave. The experience of Peruvian construction was
one to test our strength and patience. We didn’t have a clear objective, but laid
the groundwork and foundation for the support wall, as the next DWC team will
be arriving soon after us.</div>

We enjoyed the outreach portion as
well as the outings and adventures we went on throughout the week. Some
highlights were the bike tour along the districts into the coast, the Inca
market, fruit market, visiting the youth market, and simply walking the streets
at night to get churros or crossing the street to get desserts at the little
café. <o:p></o:p></div>

One thing that will truly stick with
me this trip was how energetic the kids were at the school. They wanted to
always play and although the language barrier was tough, their smiles and
laughter were worth the early mornings and crazy Peruvian traffic. I wouldn’t
exchange this experience for anything and am very grateful for the opportunity
and the people I’ve spent it with.<o:p></o:p></div>

After a short ride along the city’s winding and bustling
streets, the tour eventually gave way to a long beachside strip full of
breathtaking views. After checking out a variety of places, the team eventually
settled and stumbled upon a busy “La Lecha,” an old-fashioned Peruvian diner
with delicious creamy milkshakes and guac-topped burgers. <o:p></o:p></div>

In the morning, we visited a local fruit market where we met people from Ato Colibri, an organization that helps teenagers like ourselves to have better working conditions for their jobs in the market. We bought various fruits including mangoes, watermelons, pineapples and oranges, which were very cheap and fresh.</span><br />

We went into each classroom to greet these adorable children and their teachers. In the old and rough classrooms, the children were excited about the coming of new visitors and tried their best to say welcome to us in English. At the end of the greeting, they sang a song in Spanish and played a game with us, what a treat!</span><br />

Although the work was pretty hard for us at first, we still enjoyed the feeling of helping others. For the children’s safety and to make room for a new addition, we moved the rocks away from the nearby of the classroom. These rocks were very heavy to move, but we still tried our best to help each other to move the rocks. At the end, we understood the importance of team work.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3. At the end of our first day, many children came to us and we sang a song, took pictures and danced together. Also, they asked for our signatures to keep the memories, and we promised that we are going to meet them again on Monday. They were really friendly and cheerful even though we could not understand their language.</span><br />

<![endif]--><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The final week was bittersweet. And cold. We got a taste of what fall feels and looks like in Peru. The heavy mist and temperature would be associated with the same weather on Vancouver Island. But we kept working through it and the mud. Throughout the period of four days we were able to finish off a cement path leading into a building that will be finished soon. On Friday we were treated to a special ceremony for the principal and for us. After dancing and celebrating, it was time for us to go home. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />There aren’t enough words that can explain this experience. Peru is one of those places you have to go to witness the culture first hand. We've learned to live by their rules for the past month and doing something different feels almost foreign. Peru is filled with the most amazing and beautiful people, a few we became lifelong friends with and hope to see them again in the near future. Their rich history and landscape is breathtaking and just magnificent. Volunteering in this country was a life changing experience and we couldn’t have chosen a better country to go to. </span><br />

<![endif]--><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It was a short week coming into the third week we were here. It started to get colder coming into the season of fall. Cloud covered our worksite most of the day, but we never stopped being positive and working through it. The parents started to help us out by moving big rocks, raking the dirt to make it level, and clearing a path to make it easier. Even though the rain (which is more like heavy mist), they kept going. The amount of effort and perseverance these people put into is incredible. And they work with a baby on their backs! At the end of the week we were able to finish the steps. We were even given one step to put each of our names in. </span><br />

</xml><![endif]--><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We started week two through the dusty wind, working hard on the wall. It was nothing what we’ve expected before and we were all sweating buckets at the end of the day. We hauled so much dirt that I never wanted to see it again. But though all the mixing and rock digging, we slowly saw the wall come to life. It’s amazing what team work and positivity can do! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">During the week we also got to spend a lot of time with the children. We did as much as we could with them, and seeing their bright smiling faces put more happiness into our day. They were very competitive with soccer and even volleyball. Some would have a great future if they kept playing it. But these are the happiest kids I’ve ever seen. </span><br />

Miguel is going to put the final coat of red paint on the school and take the retaining boards off the wall once our freshly poured concrete dries. <br /><br />We had a lovely goodbye ceremony by the students in 6th grade and then distributed books we brought for the classroom libraries (thanks Jana White and Jenny Gallant!). We also donated a large KitchenAid mixer to the kitchen. Every day they have after school sessions teaching kids how to prepare healthier meals.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sometimes we feel like big moose going up and down the school staircase, while we watch nimble children navigate the angles (with no railings all week). Today, Jerrmy in particular can feel some success because he was determined to see that project through to the end. The railings are up!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First thing this morning we removed the retainers from our concrete wall. A proud moment. We reused those pieces to frame the next half of the wall since we didn’t have enough money to buy enough wood to build the whole frame. <br /><br />So, proud moments through the day as we mixed and poured and filled the second half of the wall. </span><br />

<br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jeremy has been laboring to dig holes for fence posts. The only problem is he is digging into pure rock that is filled with iron. This of course raises questions for students who know a little about economics and wonder why the rock isn’t being crushed to extract the metal. But that’s a story for another day. Nevertheless, Jeremy has persevered and due to this diligence, succeeded. Jeremy is pictured with his nemesis, and his young protégé. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><br />Brenda finally conquered the pathway, using crushed rock from Jeremy’s iron-rock holes to fill a pathway about 30 cm higher.

It’s everywhere. It’s clean. It’s safe. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So when you come to a place like Lima, where on the news this morning was the information that 700,000 Limans don’t have access to water (and that’s not counting the millions who live in the outskirts like San Jose Obrero where we are working), it’s hard to fathom. It’s hard to empathize. Until you see the rock and the dust swirling and encircling everyone and everything. And you see a truck hauling water up a mountain and piping it into tubs because if it didn’t there wouldn’t be any. Just more dust. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />And then, when you feel and taste the dust, you can know, and you can appreciate. And you can be grateful for the luxury of cleanliness.</span>DWC Volunteershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12649053562365670260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387902617230111329.post-77333853457113277902015-05-01T12:19:00.002-07:002015-05-01T12:20:41.544-07:00Lima - Bodwell Team: at the Market and the Beach<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This morning’s excursion was to the market, that age-old location of economic enterprise and communication. We had a small communication gap where one of the students thought we were going to a mall, but today we wanted to explore local economic activity. Even though it was a short journey, we learned a lot about the chocolate industry (and got samples!) as well as the negotiation system (less than in other countries) and the history of goods (for example, silver and the Columbian Exchange). One of the memorable things about markets are the sensory overloads. In today’s case, colour and flavor. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />The hole was dug. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />We mixed cement: powder with sand, then built a sand castle with a spiral moat and poured water in it to let the cement slowly making a mix. <br />Nikita and Dominik poured the cement in the trench while Jax,Jeremy and Allan laid the foundation rock.

This has multiple effects of course. After a long journey in Lima’s rush hour traffic, we arrived in San Jose Obrero, our worksite. This community has been built by the hands of its inhabitants, many of whine have come from the provinces searching for work and a better life near the city. Rock. Dust. Epic colors and beauty nestled in the hills. This is what foreign eyes notice upon arrival in SJO. We had a beautiful introduction to the school by the Director, and lots of interaction with the students. And then we got down to work. Pick axes, shovels, and our hands were the tools. We dug and we moved rocks and earth to create a path and make a foundation for a wall.<br /><br />Here are a few pictures of us still looking fresh before the sun and the dust and the ache of muscles wore us down before dusk. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Huaca Pucllana is the seven layered pyramid that is amazingly preserved because of the desert climate here in Peru. It is 200 meters from our hostal! Its literal translation means “the place for ritual games”. It was used by the Lima and Wari cultures starting in 200 CE. Since Mayeli and I got up early, we wandered around the ruins and joined a Spanish speaking tour group. Our first mini adventure. </span><br />

We took them to play soccer and have races just down the road from the school. After getting back to the school, we had an "assembly" of sorts that the school as a whole thanked us for all of the work that we did. The kids embraced us and welcomed us into their community. We exchanged gifts and then went up to the room we worked on and Father Paul blessed the school. We ended the afternoon with a performance by musicians who, after they were done, taught us how to play Peuvian instruments. After dinner, the group went back to the Inka Market and did some shopping.<br /><br />Emily and Sarah<br />St. Andrew's Participants <br />Lima, Peru; March 2014DWC Volunteershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12649053562365670260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387902617230111329.post-56829542315375333992014-03-13T14:24:00.000-07:002014-03-19T11:29:59.599-07:00Lima, Peru: St. Andrew's Team - Day 3 on the SiteLast night after dinner we hit up the Inka Market and bartered to get some great deals with shop owners who don´t speak English.<br />
<br />
Today was another day on the worksite (day number 3). Everyone was starting to feel the heat this morning and the exhaustion kicked in, but as soon as we got to the school and saw the children and their smiling faces, everything got better.<br />
<br />
After we hauled 1000 bricks and a truck load of sand, and some of us got to learn how to lay the bricks to make the walls. We got to spend a lot of time with the children and they are getting much more comfortable having us around.<br />

We started off by carrying 2000 bricks up four flights of stairs which was exhausting but we were rewarded with delicious watermelon.<br />
<br />
For dinner we got to have delicious Peruvian food consisting of potatoes, chicken and rice. Afterwards we got to go to the Inca Market, we were all pretty exhausted by the time we made it there but somehow we all managed to have a successful shopping trip!<br />
<br />
Today we managed to get two walls of the school built and the construction is moving along quite quickly! We are excited to get back to work tomorrow!<br /><br />St. Andrew's Participants <br />Lima, Peru; March 2014DWC Volunteershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12649053562365670260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387902617230111329.post-15028287580364393812014-03-12T09:57:00.001-07:002014-03-19T11:19:38.350-07:00Lima, Peru: St. Andrew's Team - First Day on the WorksiteWe started off with an early morning (6am) and another wonderful breakfast. After a quick tutorial on what we would be doing today and the days that followed, we climbed into two vans that would be taking us to the work site. As we approached the outskirts of Lima, we got a very eye-opening experience of what the poverty stricken areas of Peru were like. We both remarked on how incredibly resourceful the Peruvian people were when faced with a challenging environment. It was truly amazing to witness how a diverse culture could thrive on such a barren landscape.<br />

<br />
As we were getting out of the vehicles we were welcomed by the
children of the Nassae school with banners, Canadian flags, and many
greetings. It was quite heartwarming to see the appreciation in the eyes
of the children and the teachers whom we were about to build a school
for.<br />
<br />
The work was difficult and strenuous- packing bags of
gravel, sawing wires, and scrubbing rust off of re-bar got us sweaty
and fatigued. But at the end of the day, we could not help but feel
exceedingly fortunate for what we have at home, and utterly rewarded for
our helpful contributions to the school.<br />

We went on a super wicked stressful bike ride because there are few traffic laws and cars have the right of way.<br />
<br />
The breakfast is always great and we get fresh homemade smoothies every morning. Mass was at the cathedral and was a different experience then in Canada. After we went on a bus tour in the afternoon then we shopped.<br />

Over the past two years, our volunteers have finished working on various building projects for the San Jose Obrero School in Miraflores on the outskirts of Lima.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />Starting in spring 2014, DWC volunteers will assist on IFEJANT's next infrastructure project: adding a third floor to the Nassae School which is located in Jicamarca in the district of San Juan de Lurigancho. The school currently has six classrooms on two floors and could be built up two more floors.<br /> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5387902617230111329" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a>The district of San Juan de Lurigancho is one of the 43 districts of Lima Province. This district is populated by migrant families who have moved from different parts of the country. The majority are informal workers; in order to find work, they move closer to the centre of the district of Lima, leaving their children in the care of older siblings or other family members.<br /><br />Children living in Jicamarca have almost no access to public education so the community has rallied to provide schooling opportunities. The number of children who want to attend school is rapidly increasing, and since present capacity is limited, this third floor will allow for more student enrollments.<br /> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A group of high school students from Victoria will be the first team to work on this project. An additional high school group and Under 30 team will be finishing the project if needed. Along with hired local skilled labour, work on the project will be done jointly by volunteers, parents, teachers, and IFEJANT. <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

We went to each classroom to say our goodbyes and handed out some soccer balls, skip ropes, Frisbees and bubbles. The children sang us songs and said thank you to all of us for all the work we did to help them with their school.<br />
<br />
We spent time in Christian's classroom baking and making food for the celebration in the afternoon. It was great fun to participate with the kids and see how much they enjoying cooking with us. We got to eat the things we prepared and spend time with the kids in the class and some of their parents. They presented us with a gift and thanked us for all we did to improve their classroom. We handed out back packs and t-shirts to the kids in the class.<br />
<br />
It was a happy day, but a few tears were shed as we said our goodbyes. We also said goodbye to Miguel who helped us with all the repairs, and Luz who was our leader from IFEJANT and a wonderful lady.<br />
<br />
Maria caught an earlier flight back to Lima and was able to go out for dinner with all of us. We had great food, some drinks, dessert and lots of laughs. After dinner, Maria, Mark, and Richard left for the airport. Darlene and Lianne are traveling in Peru together and leave tomorrow morning. Sandra and I leave very early tomorrow to travel Peru together. Frank leaves for Canada in the morning.<br />
<br />
It was a great adventure together and I enjoyed my time with everyone. I hope to do more volunteer trips in the future.<br />

We went to 4 classrooms and showed the kids pictures, Canadian money, and things from Canada. One class dressed up for us in costumes, and the grade 6 class did a lot of research on Canada and presented it to us. Then we went up the hill to their PE area with one of the classes and gave them some of the things we had brought from Canada including soccer balls, Frisbees, skip ropes, bubbles and then we played with the kids. Mark, Sandra, Darlene, Frank and Richard played soccer with the kids while Lianne showed some kids how to play Frisbee and I took pictures of all the fun. Everyone had a great time and the kids were so excited to spend time with all of us. Before we knew it was past lunchtime and the kids went back to class and we ate and got to work for the afternoon. <br />
<br />
Darlene, Lianne, Sandra and I went shopping in the Inka plaza for souvenirs and gifts.. We found a little cafe and had a yummy dinner and interesting desserts. Mark went for dinner at a friend's (from Canada) mom's house and visited for awhile. Frank and Richard went for dinner by themselves. It was the only night we didn't eat together as a group.<br />
