Greetings from Peru! I am having a BLAST here, re-living the Peace Corps days and re-connecting with the Mayu artisans and all of my Peruvian friends. We are working hard to create our Fall designs and look forward to sharing them will all of you! As Internet is spotty, this is going to be a short and sweet post.
Our last entry was about Mayu and the meaning behind the name of this social enterprise. We shared with you a picture of little Mayu, whom I met when she was just 2 years old. Well, now she is 8 years old. I can’t believe how time flies. Here she is, our beautiful  (well, now a senorita) Mayu!

Hello Mayu o Kate Robinson,
Great to see a person with personality and great heart take on such a daunting project.
Congrads!
Sometime in the next few years, yes years, I have no doubt we will meet. It has taken me some time to adjust from Australia to peru my wife is Peruana and she has had to be kind to me and with me.Still do not speak Spanish well.
I am a writer and work in collaboration with Promperu.
Will be driving around your region to photograph the small villages and the Andes as part of the promo for India.
At present I am at page 35 of the promotions for China,Malaysia and Singapore.
Lived in these countries, so I understand what tourist require in Peru…..INFORMATION and LOTS OF IT.
Don’t recall if Alpaca is a clothing product in Australia.or Singapore Malaysia or India..
Where do you export to. We have a business exporting Ilaria and Giorelli joyas to Australia. Mainly silver and some gold rings. But I have friends who farm the Alpacas spitters.
Best of health and luck in the 12,000 metres climate and cold.
Regards
Owen Nair-Marshall
