Iglesia, Ollantaytambo
Ollantaytambo is an Inca village which dates back to Inca times. Many of the houses were built by the Incas. Many of the local people who live there are descended form the Incas and still speak Quechua.
This photograph was taken while I was on a brief vacation while working with Hands on Disaster Response at the site of a major earthquake near Pisco, approximately four hours south of Peru’s capital city of Lima.
Proceeds from sales of this image will be directed to the BWB Build a Cornerstone Project. This project assists families to rebuild. Using volunteer labour and materials purchased with donated funds, BWB are constructing cornerstones for families whose houses are now in ruins.
Each cornerstone is a two-room building with plumbed bathroom and kitchen fixtures, all connected to existing water and sewerage services. These cornerstones been specifically designed to withstand future earthquakes and provide a much needed helping-hand allowing people to live with dignity while gradually rebuilding their homes.
