SANTA ROSA

We are currently in the middle of the construction of a multi purpose room and kitchen in the Pueblo of Santa Rosa in the valley of Jicamarca with the help of the Diocese of Ballarat and the Irish Mission Fund. Santa Rosa is a community that began in 2004, and is home to over 500 young families. There are many children under the age of ten, and so through The Shared Table project, we have decided to accompany these families in their struggle to establish a better life and future for themselves.

Although we faced a couple of challenges initially with regard to accessing the site for construction, the view in the future will be great.

Felix, in charge of construction, checks the preparation for the pouring of cement for the roof.

Although the building looks precariously perched, the foundations are secure. The influence of the Incas still prevails!
