Amoria Bond Charitable Trust AUGUST 2017
CLOSING WORDS : VISION & CONTRIBUTION Daniel Daw , ABCT Founding Partner
“ 7 years ago when Gareth Lloyd , Nick Barrow and myself set up the Amoria Bond Charitable Trust we wanted to commit to a long-term and ambitious project that would would be sustainable for the community it touched .
We all had an affinity with Peru having as we ’ d all previously travelled around the country extensively , so we pledged to build 100 homes in the shanty-town region of Las Laderas .
I can safely say that the journey to fulfilling our commitment has been one of the most incredible and rewarding experiences of our lives . We have formed strong partnerships along the way with Carole & David at Project Peru , Michel and his local building team , Rosa and the wider Las Laderas community .
The people of Las Laderas , who have very little in terms of material possessions , are amongst some of the kindest & inspirational people I have met .
Their hospitality and generosity of spirit is unparalleled , and I feel really privileged to have personally experienced this myself many times having been lucky enough to participate in all 3 Amoria Bond employee trips to Las Laderas .
My sincere thanks go out to everyone who has supported the project over the years . This includes all Amoria Bond employees for their tireless fundraising and salary-sacrifice to help fund the trust , those employees who volunteered to give up annual leave to travel out with us to help with the buildingwork , and everyone else who has donated . Without this we couldn ’ t have fulfilled our promise to better the lives of over 500 people by providing them with warm , safe homes !
The emotion and gratitude on the faces of all those families who have had a house built for them is a memory I will cherish forever - so massive thanks to you all for contributing to the Amoria Bond Charitable Trust legacy in Peru .” - words of thanks - https :// bit . ly / peruceremonyfull
