Buckner shines hope into the lives of children and families. Hope that points to a better life and opportunities to reach maximum potential this side of heaven. Buckner shines very bright in Peru under the leadership of Claudia Leon, Director of Buckner Peru, NGO.
I saw this first hand this week as I spent time with Claudia, her team, and during a visit with Ms. Marisol Espinoza, Vice President of Peru. We enjoy a healthy and collaborative relationship with the government of Peru enabling us to serve vulnerable children, their families, and orphans due to effective work of Claudia.
Claudia not only leads the work of Buckner Peru NGO but also has gained a regional reputation as an expert on Foster Care across Latin America. She recently published a book entitled "Acogimiento Familiar" as a manual for how to develop a foster care system. Claudia is extending and replicating the masterful work she has done in Peru to other countries impacting children and families in throughout the region. She is an outstanding leader, gifted, trustworthy, and visionary. I am proud to be associated with her.
The group of Buckner friends, donors, and staff shared a special time with girls from the Transition Home in Lima. Hearing the stories of these brave young ladies was a powerful time of triumph and hope. Buckner is shining hope in Peru. I hope you will consider visiting Peru with Buckner to help us shine hope in this place.
