Casa Mantay

The venturers came to Peru in 2004 and while they were here they helped build a safe house for teenage mothers who had been raped. I took a trip to see the house and meet the mothers. It was really cool to see in the flesh the patio they built, the butterflies theyd painted on the bedroom walls, and the mosiacs theyd done in the bathrooms, cause Id seen all the photos a million times. The organisers remembered Donnybrook Venturer Group fondly and all the great work theyd done and I felt so proud. I decided that I too would like to get involved somehow and so next week Im going to join a group who are going to repaint the whole house cause its looking a little shabby now. It makes me feel good to part of the project that the Venturers started a few years ago.
