Adventure Life partnered with a shelter in Peru to help improve the kitchen needs of the women and children at their shelter. The “Casa de Acogida Mantay” provides the food and service for around 58 people, mothers, children, workers and volunteers, every day. The home has recently seen an increase in the number of children who come to daily to benefit from nutritional support and tutoring while their mothers work. The need for bigger pots, a larger sink, and better sanitary accommodations became apparent. "When we are washing the pots, the water falls on the ground, causing the ground very slipping and representing a big risk for the cookers." Raquel García Matías the head director said. "We need to prevent this issue and remain a safe place."
The $2500USD granted will fund:
Increasing the stability and structure in the house
Tearing our damp and moldy walls to replace with new ones
Improve the sink to facilitate the sanitary cleaning of kitchen equipment
Other precautions to reduce the risk of falls and other accidents in the kitchen
The Mantay shelter was originally constructed with adobe and the tenants see the structure crumbling step by step. The Adventure Life Grant Committee was more than willing to grant this request in order to maintain the health and safety of those working and living in the home.
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
