weekend ... assigned pictures I will upload later!
The weekend after the sad news of the death of the "abuelita" I have an alternative city guide to Marie, Elena, Lilith and myself organized. We would of course be in the situation that prevailed even in the village and of course remained behind to have to help somewhere, but Tio Hibo said it was not a problem if we did not spend the weekend in the village. So we went Saturday morning on the way to Lima, where we have an appointment with Alois, a very nice older German who has lived for more than 20 years here in Peru. I had his number from a few friends from the DED, which had made this trip before. What is it for now but is still subject to alternative city guide? ... This question then presented, first, Alois, since he himself also did not know exactly where he will go for us. So very good idea, however, we ourselves have not had. I had only heard of the other in some social projects, and many were "pueblos jovenes" (young towns), so called the new town that arise anywhere around Lima, have visited. So we drove through Manchay, until we came to a children's village in which we presented ourselves as interested volunteers. As a freelance Alois "Eco-Design-Planner" is, for example, many projects Bioanbauflächen, wetlands or Ecosielos iniziert or cared, he has access to completely different organizations whose goals would surely otherwise have remained closed to us. For me it was very interesting to CIMA, a children's home for boys in Cieneguilla, in which I once visited a friend, get to know another another children's home. I deliberately choose this case the term children's home and orphanage, as these two projects in the very concept of Westfalia distinguished. There grew the children do not like here in a family environment in a family house but there were huge dormitories, where the kids spent up to 30 people the night. Even had the expression that Alois for the building, I was not so inappropriate. He said: "Now we go to another orphanage. This looks more like a factory, but you will see the same ... yes. " The head of the home was very nice and took us on the entire estate. There too they had many animals and gun make a huge area planted to a healthy, varied and adequate nutrition of children. Also, if I have this concept, not so nice for the kids think, like here in Westfalia, I am after my home visit last week, sure that the children are in good hands.
A completely different picture, we got on a small hill to face, from which you could look into one of the SOS Children's Villages. They are also built on a concept, in which the children will grow up in a family environment. But one could clearly see that this children's village considerably more resources available added. The houses were made of fine wood, there was a new basketball, volleyball and a new football field and everything was green and surrounded by a beautiful garden.
Then we drove across the "pueblos jovenes" until we visited for a short visit to a worm farm, the second largest cemetery in the world. It was really impressive how many graves there were on this 60-year-old cemetery. It was such a like a small town in which you move. Of course it was a little strange feeling to be a tourist in a cemetery and I felt a bit uncomfortable.
On the way to lunch at one of the many markets We even drove past a small house, where women produced murals and rugs made of different materials. It was really interesting, clever as she cuts with their hands, without any templates or stencils the motives for the art work.
had for lunch it's a typical lunch with soup, main course and a drink for 5 soles, which are the equivalent of just € 1.40, on a small market. From there we drove across the "pueblos jovenes" on a hill, could see from where you realize how big this new city of Lima are. In these few hours was a deliberately again, that Lima really arose in the middle of the desert. Very rarely, there was once a green spot between the houses and huts. Also, it was shocking how much trash in part on the streets and lay next to it then play the kids on a playground.
The next objective was a disabled day care, where we also met the same nor any other German volunteers. The day care center attended by 40 children with physical and mental disabilities and is situated on a small but very beautiful grounds.
On the way back we made a little detour into a huge psychiatry, in the Alois was again involved in an ecological project and thus give us entry could. A very funny picture was from one of the patients, who strolled with his radio about the little ways and head to match the song by Bob Marley "No Woman No Cry" moving. After more than seven hours
alternative city tour and completely broken, we Alois was born again at our hostel in Miraflores follows ....( continued)
