Our cause: 

Dear friends & kind-hearted strangers,

We started our initiative in December of 2023 in Pisco, Perú (one of the poorest areas within the country) with little organization and humble funding, but with a collective desire to spread the Christmas spirit to wonderful children under extreme need. Whatever we were able to put together then did go a long way for these children, which we hope you can appreciate in the pictures of last year’s event. We are excited to see what we can accomplish with a bit more time, organization, and - hopefully - funding.

We are hosting two Chocolatadas (Christmas parties) for 350 children - including a school for children with special needs - plus families and community members in Pisco, Peru. Our events will include a present exchange with Santa for all the kids, children's entertainment (clown, dancing, games), inflatable bounce house playtime, seasonal food, and christmas baskets with essential goods.

When/Where/Who:

December 19, 2024: Chocolatada for 125 students at a special needs school in Pisco, including presents
