PaM works with the small community of Máncora, Peru, to create sustainable, locally-run initiatives in the areas of community health, social services and education. PaM Canada was created in the fall of 2004, following a volunteer work-placement with PaM Peru that Lucy Gallo and Danielle Lafond completed as part of their Social Work degrees at Ryerson University. In June of 2004, Lucy and Danielle volunteered with PaM Peru programs, teaching english and facilitating support groups for women and children. They also conducted a community needs assessment, which involved conducting research and designing a community survey, focusing on the history and present state of socio-economic conditions, and priorities for needed community services and infrastructure. During this period, they also managed to raise a total of $500 USD in donations. Following their return, PaM Canada convened a Board of Directors, from diverse disciplines ranging from the medical, social work and international development fields, informed by a Board of Advisors in key areas of expertise. We were registered as a not-for-profit corporation in May of 2005, and since then have been engaged in ongoing work to raise funds, procure and ship donations, as well as to maintain an international volunteer program. In July of 2006, PaM Canada was awarded Charitable status by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). PaM Canada has been established to provide fundraising, to organize donations of supplies & equipment, and to create an international volunteer program, whose purpose will be to support sustainable community development projects in 'developing' nations such as Peru.
