Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the 20th anniversary celebration of Maria Elena Moyano in Villa El Salvador. Luckily, my friends who are volunteering in Villa have made a great video montage of the proceedings. Please watch it to find out more about this truly inspiring woman!

Saint Martin de Porres
Throughout my time in Peru I have been intrigued by images and figures of a Black saint. Who is he? What was his story? Let´s face it, I´ve never come across a Black saint before! Much to my amazement, I stumbled upon his name at work today - Saint Martin de Porres. Born in Lima in 1579 and canonized in 1962, some 323 years after his death in 1639...I`ll leave it up to you to fill in the gaps!
Wow...you learn something new everyday!
