Pamplona (Barriada of Lima)

(19.06.2011)

Alongside Villa El Salvador and Huaycan, Pamplona is the third shanty town which is visited by the Peru-Aid. There we have already been giving support in the fields of medicine and schools. Pamplona is the nearest of the three shanty towns to Lima. Pamplona is divided from the areas of Surca, Monterrico and La Mollina by a huge wall.

Gas stoves for Pamplona:

Since 2002 the Peru-Aid has been manufacturing sturdy, mobile gas stoves in an authoritative company. Each one of the gas stoves provides around hundred people in Pamplona Alta with a daily square meal. The money is well invested, if you consider that diseases are kept within a limit through wholesome meals and boiled water.

The population of Pamplona, around 300.000 people, is infamous for their 'Casa de Chancos' (hog houses). There people collect those waste materials which are not nutrious for the animals and which are definitely not in accordance with hygienic standards. The waste is cooked or heated in oil barrels under the strong release of odours. The meat of the slaughtered animals is not investigated on viruses and is immediately sold. Accordingly the risks of an infection among the population are huge.

While Martha Moyana still leads the soup kitchens of her murdered sister Maria Elena Moyana in Villa El Salvador and Franciscan Padre Adriano Tomassi presses things ahead with our delievered machinery and trains young people in Huaycan. Furthermore the Peru-Aid has provided Pamplona with three containers.

Under the guidance of Padre Juan Luis Lazarte the Jesuits operate in Pamplona. At the same time Padre Juan Luis Lazarte is the Capellan of the missionary of God's Words in Peru and also the pastoral support at the Technical University of Lima ( Universidad Nacional de Ingenieria). Prof. Manfred Horn has a professorship there as well.

The Jesuits own a grammar school in Monterrico and the school and health centre Pebal in Pamplona. There the population has the possibility to be educated in theory and practise from childhood to adultery. Medical treatment and trainings in the hygienical sector are offered. Adultery analphabets are taught to read and write.

The Peru-Aid has delievered among other things 120 computers in spring. The computers are made web-providing and can be used at their best.

At the end of 2003 the Jesuits in Pebal, Pamplona, brought to life a project for a group of street children. The Peru-Aid takes part in it by paying the yearly fee of the guardian (1.200 US-Dollar).

This project has not been finished and needs further support.
