The team
In the town of Jauja, the birthplace of Pichuberry, a Peruvian woman who now resides in Seattle continues to visit the town to advance the mission of Pichuberry. The organization relies solely on the efforts of five local volunteers and does not receive support from government or private entities.
Pichuberry is the result of collaboration between these dedicated volunteers and the Peruvian woman. By pooling their resources and expertise, they have enhanced the operations of Pichuberry through increased funding and improved organization. This collaboration has enabled Pichuberry to expand its reach and provide greater support to vulnerable animals in the area.
I hail from Tingo Paccha, a humble village nestled 15 miles north of Jauja. My early years were marked by deprivation – barefoot, hungry, and lacking the guidance of a responsible adult. Alongside me, my six uncles, all around the same age, endured a similar fate. We were the forgotten children, shunned by society, and left to fend for ourselves.
But amidst the hardships, one constant brought solace to our existence – our faithful canine companions. Dogs, ever loyal and protective, became our unwavering guardians throughout our childhood.
As a child, I felt helpless, unable to alleviate the plight of my friends, my four-legged family. Now, as a grown woman, the memories haunt me, and I am driven to make a difference in their lives.
Today, I stand empowered, determined to lend a helping hand. I implore you to join me in transforming the lives of these innocent animals. Together, we can bring hope, nourishment, and care to those who have known only neglect and hardship. Let us work hand in hand, bringing light to the darkness, and ensuring a brighter future for these cherished companions.
