AYNI - Peruvian Norwegian Association

"AYNI represents what my family in Peru represented for me on Sundays. A wonderful group of Peruvians who bring me a sense of comfort. I know they are ready to help others and each other, and that reminds me of my family's values. I hope the group in Norway continues to grow and that together, we can continue to bring social assistance to vulnerable groups in Peru."

"I feel that AYNI represents an ideal of support and sincere affection among compatriots. AYNI is a unique space for fellowship, allowing us to share our experiences as Peruvians in Norway with other compatriots. Being far away, AYNI is my little corner of Peru that I miss so much. I have the highest expectations for AYNI. I believe our community has great potential to continue with social aid projects in Peru."

"I volunteered to design and develop Ayni's website. It's my first experience volunteering with a social aid organization. I've learned a lot about the team's values ​​and the support they provide to communities in Peru and Norway. The team is very close-knit, everyone is very kind, and I love being part of this organization."

"For me, Ayni represents the opportunity to feel like I'm part of a family, even though I'm far from Peru. The organization has provided me with a space where I can find people with customs and values ​​similar to my own, including a sense of community and reciprocity. My goal is to collaborate on various initiatives, both for social aid and for strengthening the Peruvian community in Norway. In this sense, the association has given me the opportunity to share ideas for social, cultural, and charitable events in which not only members of the association but the community at large have been able to participate."

"I joined Ayni with the desire to help low-income people in need of social support. I've been doing social work for almost 12 years, and when I learned about this organization, I was so happy to become a member. The team is united, and their support encourages us to remain committed to achieving our goal of bringing aid to vulnerable families in Peru. Ayni has also allowed me to meet more compassionate fellow Peruvians and continue sharing our culture. Congratulations, Ayni, great work! Never tire of helping."

"I joined in 2022 and it helped me meet more people who share the same ideas and opportunities to support those most in need. Also, being part of the organization gives me the opportunity to help and to be more aware that unity is strength in any circumstance."
