Year end review, Document H for Araypallpa.
“My most recent adventure, however, may top them all.”
Working in the field brings a lot of adventures, especially because Alma makes an effort to reach isolated communities where no one else is willing to work. One time I was almost swept away by a rain-charged glacial river on my motorcycle at 4,000 meters above sea level, later having to spend the frigid night […]
Camino Nuevo
Today was the most emotionally difficult day that I have had so far in Peru. We visited three projects, all in Cusco, but this blog will focus on the first project, Camino Nuevo (New Pathway), as it is the one that left the most impactful impression on me.

The Boys from Cusco
Today we visited an after school program on the outskirts of Cusco, in a neighbourhood named Kallpanchis. We took a cab up one of the mountains with Octavio and several others from Hope, one of Alma’s partner organizations, crossing over the train tracks in the middle of this neighbourhood and arriving at the […]
Interview with Guillermina
At 10am I made my way down to the bus terminal in Cusco. It was unlike any experience I had ever had trying to find a bus. There were many large white vans, and in front of them were the drivers, who were yelling at each and every passerby encouraging them to get into their […]
Our First of Many Milestones
In 2015, we celebrated our five year Anniversary. Five years of challenges, of hard work, and of impact. With thousands of volunteer hours, numerous loyal supporters and the amazing work of our Peru Director Ian and founder Alan, Alma was able to improve the quality of education for thousands of children. 5,000 children to be […]
