News
The Andemos Team is working hard to identify the best possible opportunities for volunteers with Paz y Esperanza for the next year.
Thanks to the Judson University short term team who served in Huanuco in March. The team used drama and skits to communicate the importance of speaking out against violence against women and shared in public plazas, schools, markets, and churches. They also helped with the construction and of the newly inaugurated safe home for abused children and women at the Paz y Esperanza farm outside of Huanuco.
Thanks to the Pepperdine University Law School team who served in San Juan de Lurigancho, Lima in March. The team of young law students learned about the justice system in Peru and the cases of human rights abuse that Paz y Esperanza is working on. They also helped with workshops on women’s rights and rehabilitation for sexually abused children, and helped put a new roof on the house of a family living in extreme poverty.
