Andean Dream Come True

Donation protected

Update: Dec. 14th, 2018

I have been able to get some personal loans which have dramatically lowered the goal of this campaign. We are still not where we want to be to end the year in a good way, but we are MUCH CLOSER!

Even small donations of any size help a lot. 

If you might be up for a loan to help us chunk down the balance of this campaign, that also would be very helpful! 

Be in touch anytime for any reason. 
Warmest Regards, 
Sanan :) 

 

Update:  Dec. 2nd, 2018
We just this morning got devastatingly tragic news. A larger donation I thought was coming through isn't. The combination of past and current due expenses, along with the major set back we had several months ago with the theft from our store (Around $12k worth) has now put us in a situation where we are a couple of weeks from losing everything. If some kind of miracle, in the form of a good response from our world wide community doesn't happen, we will be forced to move out of our location, and end our work here. Right when we are on the verge of incredible things, and right when we are on the verge of being so close to launching our financial sustainability. I am not yet heart broken, because I am going to do anything possible to reach out for the support we need now. I literally have until just mid Dec. to reach our goal, stated here. Which is below even what our actual needs are, it is the barest minimum to keep afloat.

There will come a day, I know it, when our financial issues will be over, but for now, we may be at the end of this journey of Amistad Sagrada... unless a miracle happens. We really desperately need a larger donor right now to help us get through this.

We are also open to loans as well.

Can you help? Do you know anyone who might be able to help us? Please message me if you have any ideas, inspirations or the ability to help make a dent in this campaign. Let me know if you have any questions, want to Skype or whatever.

 

Thank you.
With infinite gratitude,

Dear Friends.

On behalf of the hundreds (and soon thousands) of children, elders and families we are in service to here in the Sacred Valley we need your help now to get to the most exciting new level with our work.

With profound gratitude and love to all of our angels who helped us get this far and those who step forward now and help make this big next step happen..

We are launching this campaign to propel the work of Amistad Sagrada into a new level of media, communication, connectivity, and economic sustainability.

We already have the most amazing foundation to build upon:

Our school, Yachay Wasicha is thriving. Our varied classes of Art, Music, Quechua, Handicrafts, Weaving, English, Yoga,  and more are so appreciated by the local children and their parents. The classes are well attended and very high quality.

Our Soccer School is thriving, with over 170 children who never had the opportunity before, participating with us 3 times a week. It is the single biggest ongoing project in Pisaq, with profound implications for fostering healthy community here into the future. As of this week we have begun Volleyball for the girls as well.

Our Weaving Cooperative is thriving, supporting some of the poorest (and most skilled) weaving families from the mountain communities of Pisaq. With this next stage that will be enabled by this campaign, we will take our Weaving Coop and our store to a whole new level.

We continue to serve hundreds of elders and people from the mountain communities fresh fruit salad, hot purple corn drink and bread every week in our store location. Our location is a community lounge for the local people. There is nothing else like it in the entire village.

As time goes on and resources allow, we look forward to growing our ability to serve our friends here in Pisaq, The Sacred Valley, and the Indigenous Mountain Communities.

And now, with your help we can finally rise into the organization we were almost meant to be. The groundwork has been laid and we have the heart, dedication and spirit to do this. We have the team. Our projects are live and happening every single day.

If you would like to make a donation,
this would be a most wonderful time to do so.*

Amistad Sagrada and our awesome team are 100% dedicated to continuing to launch, grow and expand the most empowering, inspiring, relevant service projects that have ever happened here in the Sacred Valley.

In truth what we are doing is only a fraction of what we could be, and with your help we are going to take this work to such an incredible new level.

But it is NOW, with our still very humble beginnings with unwavering dedication through a very real and often challenging journey, that we need your help.

With so much love
Sanan




Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all past, current and future angels, we love you! We appreciate each and every one of you. We are only doing this through the love, support, well wishes and financial support of those who see and believe in this work, and want to  help make it happen.

Gracias!

Ok, here's the campaign:

$4,000  still owed on Stolen Items.
$1,000  Rent for our Store/School/Office Location.
$2,000   Soccer and Volleyball Coaches, Supplies and Uniforms .
$1,000  Christmas Sweet Breads for 4,000 people and Fruit Salad for 1,000 people
---------------
Total: $8,000
If we can reach this goal we will be golden and ready to end the year on solid ground!
*************
And once we complete this...

Our NEXT campaign will be to launch our financial sustainability, and it will be the following.,,

$2,000 to install a bathroom, kitchen, water and electric system on our land. This will enable us to launch our first income stream: gatherings, circles, healing events, ceremonies etc.

$3,000 to launch a full line of natural products to be sold in our store as The Pisaq Snack Shop! Once we have this amount all income from products will be recycled back into the purchase of more and more inventory until the point where we have the most amazing, healthy, delicious, one stop snack shop in town! :)

$2,000 to launch our bakery, to be offering the most amazing array of whole grain all natural breads, cookies, cakes, pies, and all kind of fresh baked items, hot out of the oven. This is a part of the Pisaq Snack Shop.

************
Total: $7,300 (But that's for later).

But before we even launch the above sustainable income streams, we will first complete this campaign ($19,800) pay off all old and current expenses, and survive until we can sustain with our new Patreon page, which will be all about paying our total monthly costs!

So, this my friends, is our humble path forward.

But there's more!

We will also be launching our new website.

That site will showcase all of our work on a whole new level of professionalism, and be easy to navigate to various quality information pages which will explain all levels of our work here.

It will also host a store where people can both support our work and the weavers of our cooperative, through the purchase of beautiful hand made woven items.

Additionally people will be able to get involved and support us in various ways, including one time or monthly donations, wish list items, funding a project, or donating Crypo Currency.

And once that is all in place we move to our next level!

That will be once our online infrastructure is all smoothly running, our past and transition costs covered, and our monthly maintanance is covered...

and that will be more media!

Short, fun, videos to give much deeper dives into all aspects of our work, classes, offerings, projects, vision, and more.

So, as you can see, we have a plan! We know where we are going and how to get there.

The only thing missing is you!

So, thanks again for any possible way you can help us realize
this Dream of Love and Service in the Peruvian Andes.

With Warmest Regards
and Infinite Gratitude,
Sanan
