Amoria Bond Charitable Trust AUGUST 2017 Rosa Romero, Las Laderas Community Elder “To our friends from Amoria Bond from the town of Laderas, we thank you all for helping the 21 families build their new homes. These families are very poor, where the majority are single mothers who work to support their children. It is hard for them to have a home where they can feel safe as they live in the hillsides without water or electricity, in huts made from cardboard and plastic. For them, this has been a miracle – they now have their own home where they are safe, protected from the rain and cold, and they feel extremely grateful.   Thanks to all of you, the lives of these families has changed. The children now smile, they have hope about their future and having a better life. We are also very grateful to Project Peru, through them we have been able to meet you. Over the years, there have been 101 families who have benefitted from your support, having a home built for them and as a result have a much more improved life. The most important thing for a family is to have a home, to enable them to raise their children. Living in Lima is very difficult due to high rental and so, even though these homes are in the outreaches of the town, it belongs to them.   For all these things dear friends, for all the help you have given to our community during the days you have spent with the families building their homes, May God bless you all.   Regards, Rosa” Why did you support this cause? Words from a few sponsors… "What a gift to be able to consciously share in a way that offers support, assistance and most importantly security to a family with young children. To see the look on their faces in photos and to know that we've made a positive difference to fellow souls over 6300 miles away is heart warming. Thank you to all the team that make this possible.” - Theo & Olivia Van Dort “Quite apart from my love for the spirit of Peru, I particularly like what Amoria Bond Charitable Trust are doing because I know that every penny of my contribution is going directly to those who need it most.” - Keith Walton “I simply wanted to help you in supporting these people to have the very basics in life and to know that the money was going directly to build each house. I really just felt I it was right to support your truly amazing work and I know just how rewarding it must be for you, it's wonderful to make people happy.” - Annie De Silva 19
