It was so that on Friday 25 in the morning, the delegation arrived from Lima to Trujillo, in order to deliver the refurbishment, carried out on all three floors of the hostel.
The formal ceremony concluded with the unveiling of a plaque and had a break when Fernando Vela, renowned Peruvian musician, also a US resident and volunteer of the Foundation, invites children and teenagers to request their favorite songs.
