A congressman shows favor

Jesus Hurtado Zamudio – a friend to our work

The Peruvian flag flies above the large office building in Avenida Abancay 251 in Lima. Here, the 130 members of Congress have their offices. Politicians are elected for five years and must finance their election campaigns themselves. Their influence in the country is great.

Against 16 clocks an elevator brings me to the 6th Floor. A meeting has been organized in a short time with the “congressman” Jesús Hurtado. Although the interview takes only half an hour, it was very productive. The deputy, over the phone personally invites the President of the Education Commission for the inauguration of Diospi – Suyana School. Another invitation to the Minister of Education will be delivered to his staff in the next few days.

Congresista Jesús Hurtado – Theologe, Philosoph und Psychologe

I am immensely grateful for this contact to Jesús Hurtado. He has known Diospi Suyana for eight years and was always open to us. Due to his help I was able to speak in December 2012 before the health committee in the Congress and in June 2013. I presented to the Minister Ana Jara our vision and at the beginning of 2014 received his invitation through the Director of the Tax Office of the Federal States Cusco, Apurimac and Madre de Dios.

Jesús Hurtado benefits no politically helping from Diospi Suyana. For him there is no publicity, no free medical treatment at the mission hospital and no secret donations to his last election campaign. I simply just say “Thank you!” When I leave his office and down the stairs I climb. / KDJ
