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.
