It is always best to speak directly with the boss

20 July 2017

This article was posted by Klaus on the Diospi Suyana website, of which I have made a few English editorials here for clarity;

Diospi Suyana's six antenna locations need to be connected to the electrical mains.  Pylons need to be erected and cables suspended.  Transformers and all sorts of contactors need to be put in place before the transmitters and antennas can function to broadcast our signal. One could of course go to the respective state bureaus of the electricity company "Electro Sur"and try to individually negotiate with each one of them whilst hoping for a favourable outcome.  But in Peru, it is a known fact that one should understand – one should always speak directly to the boss!

Yesterday Doris Manco and Chris Welch liaised Directly with Sr. Freddy Gonzalez from Electro Sur. He is none other than the electricity company's president responsible for three states. He has the final "electric-say" in the departments of Apurimac, Puerto Maldonado and Cusco.

Freddy Gonzalez has been acquainted with Diospi Suyana for several years and he promised to support us.  The journey from Cusco to Curahuasi is a long and arduous one.  But what are 250km if one can liaise directly with the boss?

We received the commitment from Electro Sur that they would undertake the labour at all Diospi Suyana sites for free.  We only need provide the materials.  This was an incredible outcome for us.
