Maggie spent several years volunteering with children in South America and raising funds for a number of charities in UK and Peru. This led to her working with Henna supporting disadvantaged children in Peru which in turn led to a desire to establish an organisation to take this work forward. Her aim is to help disadvantaged individuals reach their full potential and so, enjoy as full a life as possible.
She left her native Finland to live in Urubamba 5 years ago. Despite the differences of cultures and language she is now part of the local community. Her aim is to help others. She approaches each day as a new challenge and meets the many and varied challenges in a professional, calm and resourceful manner. She brings fresh ideas to the day to day running and long term planning of the Center's activities, developing strong working relationships with other organisations, locally and internationally.
Oscar graduated as a physiotherapist in 2012 and has experience of working and living with people of different abilities. He joined Yanapasun in 2017 where he delivers physiotherapy and contributes in many practical ways to the day to day running of the center. Oscar considers it an honor to help the Yanapasun “family” with all of his heart.
For our new mum, Liset it’s a pleasure to be a part of the team. She is a charismatic and joyful woman who gives her best to help her patients everyday. Liset has experience within other organisations serving the community of Urubamba and is seeking to develop her role within Yanapasun.
Rosemay first became involved in the center because of her daughter’s disability. Currently she is employed full time, dividing her time between delivering speech therapy, baby massages and manning the busy reception desk where she competently deals with many and varied inquiries. She brings her dynamism and creativity to make a huge difference in all of these roles. Rosemay is studying to further develop her work within the team.
Melissa has personal experience of raising her young son, who had an early diagnosis of autism, so fully understands the challenges this brings to a family. In recent years she has learned how to deliver physiotherapy techniques and later achieved professional qualifications within early stimulation. She feels lucky to work with children and is enjoying further study to help her in her role.
Carmen, Mum to 2 grown up sons works in the early stimulation team which she joined early in 2018. She puts a lot of positivity, ideas and energy into her work drawing upon her broad life experiences. She gives her best to help the children with their day to day development and is beginning to expand her role into other projects within the Center.
Luciano joined the team in 2017 following several years working within the community of Urubamba. He puts a lot of energy, enthusiasm, professional expertise and creativity into his role which encompasses the personal development of the children and education of parents and the wider community.
Mum of two youngsters, Vilma, first came to the Center seeking help with the health problems her daughter suffers. She became well known within the team so, easily moved into her initial role cleaning the center and is now increasingly involved supporting staff within the early stimulation programme.
