We are a group of youngsters of different ages, interests and nationalities, united by our enthusiasm and desire to help those most in need. We are conscious that changing this harsh reality is a lot of work, yet we believe that these small initiatives can be the source of a major change. For now the idea is to take a moment to bring joy to children at an event as important as Christmas.

What we do

We organize a yearly Christmas activity for poor children living in the Lima area. The goal is to purchase and give gifts to Peruvian children living in poverty. We will also offer “Hot Chocolate” beverage, a traditional Christmas drink in Peru, for children and their parents, and panettone, a traditional holiday type cake.

All  funds collected go to purchasing gifts for kids

Other costs are paid in full by the volunteers and/or François Painchaud, costs such as:

• Transportation (gift purchase, scouting locations, getting volunteers to location…)
• Website maintenance & hosting
• Food and beverages for organizers, during event preparation & day of event
