In San Juan, ACORN Peru hosted several meetings for young people, their parents, and the community to discuss community values and plan how they can be implemented. In the high Andes, communities have been working with ACORN to organize basic vet care for the animals, who are a essential piece of the economy as well as a dietary staple.

This June, ACORN Peru provided vital services through the Cataratas soup kitchen in San Juan, including sourcing furniture and blankets for attendees. In Lima, the season has been unusually cold and rainy, and ACORN members stepped up for the community by starting a vinyl recycling program, which can then be used for a temproary effective strategy to stop leaks and flooding in homes in the area.  

In December, ACORN Peru focused on solidarity actions and cultural activities to close the year out strong, including a soup kitchen in Calaralas, art workshops for local students, and building a new relationship with a community in San Jose, who are requesting help negotiating with local authorities.

ACORN Peru continued their hard work advocating for children’s rights, as well as continued work on the new rural community project.

In October, ACORN Peru faced increasing social and political unease, as violence continues to escalate, and the government does little so protect it’s people. Even in the face of these challenges, ACORN hosted events to celebrate the vitality and brilliance of their young people, ensuring there are moments of celebration and solidarity  even in dark times.

This June, ACORN Peru continued important programming that provides healthy food and music education for young people, supporting well-rounded education and increased nutrition for the future generations.
