I hope all is well with you. From Monday 3rd until the end of Friday 7th April, GlobalGiving will be matching the first $50 of all individual donations to this page by 50% which is a fantastic opportunity for the projects, the children and members of the communities where we work. Thank you so much in advance for anything you can donate this week helping us continue our work in Latin America with the additional bonus of the matching!
You may have seen mention in the past of the week-long Charity Challenges that Fly The Phoenix undertake each year to raise funds for the projects and have thought about getting involved. This year we will be taking on the Lost City Charity Challenge in Colombia in May and the Inca Trail in Perú in July and it would be great to have you on the team if you are interested. For information on the challenges please follow the link below.
Daily meals are now cooked on the new stove we purchased in 2022 in Ecuador using the limited ingredients provided by the government each month or so. One of our plans this year is to put in place a large school vegetable garden which will provide regular vegetables for both consumption and for sale to be able to buy other ingredients that can’t be grown in the mountains. As is custom, Pawkar Raymi was recently celebrated, asking Pachamama (Mother Earth) for a good harvest, made more pertinent this year with the current abnormal climate.
The school vegetable garden in Perú is ready for its third harvest which will provide daily food for the children this year. We plan to increase the size later in the year. We continue to provide daily fruit for the children as well as supplying gas for the stove.
We have several large community celebrations coming up where we will supplying the food for all the children. With the sustainable plans that we hope to implement this year there will be more regular food for all the children which has always been our aim.
Have a great April and if you can donate to this page this week to receive the 50% matching on the first $50 it would be fantastic and thank you in advance. Also if you are interested in getting involved in the charity challenges, please do get in touch through the link below.
Cheers
