Unusual images...not always seen by the tourist!

Yes photos taken in Arequipa in the main and often showing a certain attitude carried by the photographer. But they show that not all is good for everyone in Peru.

Is it just tiredness or boredom which is expressed? Perhaps some more of the advertised products would help? On talking to this woman I found that she was a single parent trying to earn enough to bring up her three children. Needless to say I immediately felt a bit of  'deja vu' and realised that I could help by buying three dolls which could be sent to my grandchildren in USA. Every little bit helps!

Food could be yours...one step at a time in each notch.

And the generosity of the government was endless...land for free ... and your choice of where you erect your home.

As well building materials and how you use them are entirely up to you.
