A chance encounter in the Peruvian Highlands between travelling Aussies Lani and Michael and a 14-year-old Quechuan Peruvian Ð the vivacious Karina Carbajal Moreira Ð was a turning point in the AustraliansÕ holiday... and in their lives.
KarinaÕs parents were struggling to feed their six children, so giving them a good education seemed a modest but unattainable goal. KarinaÕs mother Carmen, while working alone in the jungle, had a dream that one of her children would meet some foreigners who would help the family in some way.
CarmenÕs dream proved prophetic and Carmen and her husband Celestino looked on with pride as their older children enjoyed an opportunity they themselves had never had. The Australian couple provided support for the older childrenÕs tertiary education, and a life-long bond between the two families was formed.
