Jerry and Ella Simons with John and DeAnne

Jerry helps the poor in the Peruvian highlands develope basic infrastructure to improve life and restore hope in mountian villages. His moto is "God's work, Peruvian hands and American generosity" All labor to build clean water delivery systems, domestic animal shelters, schools and community bathrooms is provided by villagers. He has an amazing catalogue at www.HopeProjects.com where you can buy a pair of animals to give to these hard working simple folk. Jerry's rule about the animals is they are to never be killed. They are breeding stock and the villager who gets the animals must recieve one weeks training in the care of the animals and must give the first offspring to the next qualified family. Jerry is a no nonsense LDS guy who funds his own overhead so 100% of donations are used to feul his hope building machine. We are truely inspired by his efforts.
