This money in turn will be advocated to help and provide for the poor streetchildren in Pisco (this province was affected greatly by the 2007 earthquake). Through contacts with voluntary organizations and single mothers in the city of Pisco, we gave materials educative to 120 children of the street in 10 February.
• Helping Hands has also recently organized a New Years BBQ. We invited many volunteers and other interested people to join us in a day of football and volleyball matches and food. This event collected an additional 500 soles for our project.
