Project Work
Paul is currently involved with trying to help the PCT Training Centre become financially sustainable.

The centre is home to a series of workshops:
- Carpentry
- Metalwork
- International Cooking
- Bread & Pastry Making
- Cosmetics & Hairdressing
- Sewing
These workshops are primarily intended to provide youths who have finished studying up to secondary school level with the help of the other, sponsorship for education, side of the work of Peru Children's Trust, with a chance to develop a practical skill that will help them find gainful employment. The Training Centre is, however, open to anyone in the community who wishes to come and learn a new skill, either through studying a single module or by signing up for a more complete training experience.
The Training Centre also benefits the local community by having:
- A small medical centre, which includes dentistry and phycological analysis
- A mill, producing natural and wholesome products
There's plenty of scope for improvement but, all in all, it's an excellent project and already making a large difference in the lives of many people, even though it has been going for less than 2 years.
