News of the second quarter of 2008

3 July 2008

There was the annual meeting of the association at the end of March. It was the occasion to present a very positive assessment of the second year of the association in terms of the number and the quality of the projects supported in Peru. The results were also excellent on the level of the collected funds and the confidence which is granted to us by people, partners and other organizations whose supports are very important for us.

In terms of events, we took part in a secondhand market in May which enabled us to collect more than 650 € to finance the projects. At the end of June, we proposed a brunch in a very beautiful Italian restaurant “Peonia Coffee” in Boulogne Billancourt which its owner lent it to us for the occasion. The people present got a very pleasant moment. We could speak about the projects in progress and the actions coming. The benefits of this meal were of 750 €.

Concerning the projects in Peru, we are regularly in contact with Franck who began a mission of more than 6 months in Huancavelica and works on all the activities and logistic aspects of a circuit of alternative tourism implying mainly the Pukullawa local structure. In addition, the first 2 volunteers of Solidaile, Alexis and Julia, are awaited for the end of August always in Huancavelica. They will give courses of extra teaching (English and mathematical) to the children and teenagers of the Pukullawa structure.

I will go myself 3 weeks this summer in Peru in order to visit our projects and to start 7 new collaborations. It will be also the occasion to meet local structures and to talk about possible futures micro projects for 2009. During these moments, we will try to take pictures and to film scenes as much as possible illustrating the best as possible the projects. These videos will be included in the website of the association next September.

Among the good news, we are happy to count a new partner since April, the Globanet company specialized in data processing. There is also one of our request files of funds with a foundation which was accepted for the support of an educational project.

Waiting to see you in the next newsletter, the Solidaile team wishes you very beautiful holidays and thanks you for your supports and the interest which you carry in all actions.

First news of 2008

25 March 2008

The period passed since the last newsletter was marked by many events within the association. The meal organized with the pancake shop “Le petit Grumeau” last October was a great success thanks to the number of participants (approximately 110! that we thank very much) as well as a perfect management for the various services by Nicolas, the Master of the place! The event organised in a theatre in November was not the same success partly because of the strikes… At the end of January, the public was numerous with the café concert Abracadabar (www.abracadabar.fr) to see the “Bollocks one trouble” as “Trankilesha” which agreed to play music for Solidaile.

On the level of our requests for grants, we obtained a positive answer with the “Région Ile de France” with the project of carpentry in Pira in the area of Huaraz for an important amount. In addition, the whole of our partners renewed us their trust for 2008 and continue to give us their invaluable support. Within the framework of the conferences which we ensure within the University Lyon 2, a student of the Master “Humanitarian and Solidarity” was retained for a 6 months experience in Peru. He will be invested especially in the field of alternative tourism with the local structure “Pukullawa” (in Huancavelica in the Andes at 3700m of altitude) and will work in close cooperation with the Peruvian agency “Pachamama” (www.pachamama.ciap.org).

At the end of February, Julie and Varma of the association Solidaile travelled 15 days in Peru in order to follow through our projects, to launch new collaborations and to collect information for possible futures supports. Their stay was a big success not only thanks to the availability and with the welcome of the local structures but also by the many projections noted on the level of the projects we support. You will be able to find very soon the very last photographs of their visits on the site of association (www.solidaile.org)!

In new collaborations which we plan to start in 2008, there are first of all 7 groups of craftsmen located in several areas of Peru for which we will finance technical material related to their activities. For 5 of them, a social action of educational nature in favour of the children and teenagers will accompany the micro project. In addition, with the structure “Kuyanakuy” in Lima, we plan to support them on the level of the equipment of a room in order to train young adults with the trades of the textile. Always in the area of Lima, we will most probably take part in the development of a local structure dedicated to the production of cheese of goat which carry a real success near the Peruvian population! Very soon, there will be other propositions which we will retain according to the quality of the files of presentation of projects of the local structures. We will not fail to let you informed!

The next Solidaile departure for Peru is planed at the end of August 2008 particulary to realize the second step of the project of carpentry in Pira. By then, the very first Solidaile volunteers will be already in Huancavelica in order to ensure an extra teaching near the children and teenagers of the structure “Pukullawa”.

We will also continue to address request files of grants to finance the many actions we expect to develop. If you know companies interested by our step, do not hesitate by contacting us and to make share (info@solidaile.org) and if you personally wish to support us by a gift or another action, you are also welcome!

Before sending you the next newsletter, all the Solidaile team thanks you for your support, for the interest which you carry in all actions.
