Keeping traditions alive and social responsibility has always been important to me and is the reason I started working in Peru, where work opportunities are very scarce. On my visit a few weeks ago, I spent time at a home for physically disabled and disadvantaged young women who come from the many hillside slums on the outskirts of cities.
Most of these young women pictured in the photos here are either orphans or have been disowned by their families. One young woman, still a child really and the victim of rape, holds her infant.
I am actively involved with several wonderful organizations in Peru and urge anyone wanting to help to check them out. In Peru, a little goes a long way.
