This video is Corban's very own 3-D animation of our new property in Ica and the care community that we are raising funds to build. It will give you a good idea of the terrain characteristics of the property, and how we plan to lay out the agriculture and community.
It was created by Oliver Etchebarne Bejarano and directed by Percy Young Malatesta of INMOBILIARIA MULTIPROYECTOS SAC especially for our contributors and supporters. Be sure to turn up your volume!
A little bit of traditional Peruvian music for a quiet Sunday afternoon. This is a beautiful version of what is perhaps the most culturally-important traditional song in Peru, called "El Cóndor Pasa", which is Spanish for "The Cóndor Pasa" (j/k).
The Wikipedia article gives a good background on the play that includes this song. Enjoy!
Celebrate the new year with us Monday night at the Pizza Ranch in Waupun!
Buffet starts at 4:30pm, menu orders after 9pm. There will be food, tournaments, games, entertainment, and other activities and prizes every hour, all starting at 8pm.
Bring your family, scouts, youth group and friends for a night of fun!

Here is something very sad that I came across today posted on YouTube. This short documentary is about a Peruvian boy who lives in Lima working on the street to feed his Mom and sister, because his dad has disappeared (film by Milko Vilela).
It's a very common story and gives a good picture of the reality of children who live in the poorest districts of Lima. Worse off are the are the abandoned children who have no parents or home!
So now that you know, would you like to do something to rescue orphaned and abandoned children in Peru?
As many of you know, we were scheduled to travel to Peru last week Thursday to sign the papers with the owner to purchase the property for our orphanage campus. However, because of the earthquake we lost contact with the owner and had to postpone the trip. Our attorney in Peru and several others are working to re-establish contact with the owner.
The owner lives in Ica, and at this time it is very difficult to contact anyone in the affected areas because of the condition of the Panamerican Highway and the damage to cellular phone services.
So at this point we are unsure of the their current location, but we expect to re-establish contact as things settle back to some sort of normalcy in Ica, hopefully within the next two weeks.
We'll keep everyone posted! In the meantime also see these links:
On Labor Day Corban will have a tent at the Kiwanis Korn Karnival in Randolph WI. There will be games, caramel apples and informational displays. See you there!
