Meet Danny

Danny at Curahuasi school before going missing in March 2016.

Danny comes from a very difficult home, having been abandoned by both of his parents he has been living with his grandmother who is unfortunately physically abusive.  A sad, but not uncommon story in Curahuasi.

Diospi Suyana mission friends in Curahuasi report that in March 2016 he went missing and it is rumoured that his grandmother sold him to work in Lima.  This is one of the sad things that does happen in the poor areas of Peru.  Parents or grandparents will take a sum of money and then send their kids to go work in Lima for a specified amount of time – it amounts to modern day slavery. 

We want the empty seat in his class to have Danny in it again!
