Mama Kia, Casa de Milagros

While on a yoga retreat in Peru, (view photos) Brian Mahan, CEO of Enlightened Concierge, discovered something as impressive as Machu Pichu itself, Mama Kia, an amazing woman, with an inspirational story.

After meeting Mama Kia, Brian learned that, not only has she adopted (now 31) abandoned and orphaned children off the streets of Peru, but she has also established a soup kitchen, Sopa de Dia, that feeds 88 children and elderly twice a day. She renovated a pre-existing structure, which was in ruins, installed a kitchen with new floors, roof and windows; outfitted the kitchen with the basic necessities; and planted a sustainable organic farm, involving the children at a local school all along the way.

The school children help with the farming, meal preparation and serve the less fortunate children and elders in their community. Meals are hand delivered by the same children to those unable to make it to the soup kitchen.

Watch this powerful video to hear Mama Kia's story in her own words!

wow, bet I've watched this video fifteen times already... and not once did I not shed a tear. I've embedded it into myspace and will give what I can afford... which isn't much. So, I'll say a prayer for Mama Kia and the children of Casa de Milagros... Peace. Big Al
