Dear Friends of Q’ewar,
Autumn/Spring Greetings to our readers around the World! The Q’ewar
Project is moving into high gear with all the Christmas orders coming
in! The lovely Q’ewar dolls are beginning to be a very popular item in
Christmas Craft Fairs and Fetes!
Over the past months, since the last newsletter, there have been a
number of volunteers, helping out in various ways, essential to the
continued vitality of the Project. Alister, a civil engineer and his
wife Frances, from England, have stayed a month. This month, Quinn from
Canada will be working, along with Anke from Germany, a teacher of many
years experience, who will stay three months. Q’ewar is indeed grateful
for the help of the volunteers who bring new ideas, new energy and
wonderful changes to everyone in the Project.
 
The trench for the new Wawa Munakuy schoolhouse on the Q'ewar property, has been completed
and construction is now underway. The initial work is putting in a
strong earthquake-proof foundation of cement and stone walls. This work
is being supervised by experts in Andean building.
The photos on this news page were taken by Senor Julio and they represent
the most recent examples of the Q’ewar dolls and outfits. We hope you
enjoy them!
 
We send our thanks to all who have been contributing in so many ways to
the success of the Project – in small ways, in big ways. Each has a
place, each is genuinely appreciated. To those who have sent in
donations via the Q’ewar website, many many thanks. Each contribution
is a help in raising the schoolhouse for the children of the Q’ewar
women and the children of the Village. Without the help and supportive
interest in the Project by so many around the world, the Q’ewar Project
would not be as vital and Spirit filled as it is! Special thanks to
Stephen, our intrepid Webmaster who has crafted the beautiful Q’ewar
website.
 
Warmest personal greetings to each and every one of our Friends and Readers!
Julio, Lucy, Carmen
