While in Cuzco we stayed at the incredible Ninos Hotel. The hotel is a part of a larger organization; the Ninos foundation. A non-profit that was founded by a dutch woman who was called to action by the street youth of the city during her travels to the city in 1997.

The organization is truly incredible and now provides 600 children
two rounded meals daily, tutoring, peer counseling, and a sense
community and belonging. The organization also works to create jobs and
employees over 80 local Peruvians. It's an amazing community. Many of
the children that grew-up within the program are now employed by the
hotels, shops, and restaurants all run by the organization. Sam and I
were lucky enough to get a tour of the organization and go to see where
the children eat, socialize, and learn. It's a beautiful mission and we
were overjoyed to be able to support the organization by staying at one
of their hotels (and frequenting the delicious restaurant).
