Death Announcement

Pd. Chema, a Jesuit who worked in Quispicanchi since 1974, died yesterday. He had been sick for the last year with cancer. Although I did not know him well (only by sight), I am grateful to him specifically for founding FyA 44, the school where I am honored to work, and PERFAL, the network of rural schools that serves children, especially girls, all across Quispicanchi. He was an inspiring man and a reminder to this Jesuit Volunteer of why so many lay people, including myself, feel called to support the Jesuits in their mission.

Here's the link to his obituary if you're interested. It's in Spanish, but google translate does an OK job.
