After 24 hours on the road and the air, I’m in Cusco! And it is sunny, thank goodness! I connected with Roman and Fielding yesterday when they were in Cusco buying supplies and will be in touch again in a few days about a visit to Pisac. In the meantime, Lourdes Jibaja, director of the Kusi Kawsay School, sent the following message; for those of you who have sent donations, this is where the Pachamama’s Path funds will be directed.

Letter from Taray 3/7/10
We are finally able to write all our dear friends, family and loved ones -
First of all we want to let you all know that we are fine. What an intense time this has been – we are still in a daze not able to digest what happened last Sunday night, February 28, 2010.
We know you are all so worried. We receive your thoughts and love and concern every moment of every day and that helps us keep moving forward. We know we are not alone.
The most important thing is that we are alive. Traumatized and heartbroken – but physically we are fine and so full of thanks for that. Read More

Latest photos from Taray, Peru
Taray and Pisac, the communities of Kusi Kawsay (sister school of Kusi Ccoyllor and partner in the Andean Education Alliance) have suffered devastating floods due to the bursting of a dam above their towns. I will let their words, in the posts below, speak for themselves. More information about the school can be found at www.kusikawsay.org. As they say below, money is needed to buy food and clothing for their children. Donations can be sent viaPachamamas Path, a community-run organization: Click for Support. The money will go to their US bank account and then wired directly to the community in Peru. One of our team will be in Peru next week to support the communities. Thank you in advance for your help in this devastating time.
