Heartbroken that indigenous children among most discriminated

- I went to Cusco, Peru, and I was shocked and heartbroken to learn that indigenous children are among the most discriminated against and excluded from society. I noticed them right away because of the way they dressed, how shy and awkward they were around other people.
These children are everywhere in Cusco; they come from far away places to sell their goods to the city people. It is easy to identify them because of their colorful hand-made clothes and sandals made of old car tires. These children are timid, and they keep to themselves. You usually see them sitting on sidewalks selling their parents' goods.
I approached the parents, and they are willing to share some information about themselves and their children. Every day, millions of people, mostly indigenous, who speak languages other than Spanish, face linguistic exclusion. This exclusion extends to other areas of life, including education, health, and employment.
The infant mortality rate is 3.5 times higher than that of the non-indigenous population. The life expectancy among the indigenous population is 30 years less than the non-indigenous.
The extreme poverty in Peru is overwhelming; unfortunately, as much as I want to go back, it is impossible to get toys into the country. The last time I was there, I was stopped in customs for hours; they threatened to confiscate my toys and put me in Jail. After paying a big sum of money, they let me go, but I was told I was not allowed back into the country with toys.
Luckily enough, we were able to get lots of toys into the country on this trip. We found a guide who spoke the native language and owned a car to take us around.
After days of driving through the villages and giving toys to the children, my heart was aching. Too many children had never owned a toy before. I told them how beautiful they looked in their indigenous clothes and how I wish I spoke their language.
These children were so in shock that foreigners like me would acknowledge them and admire their clothing and language.
This is the reason why I love what I do. By traveling and spending time face-to-face with these children and seeing their struggle and suffering, I can better understand why I need to continue my mission to take toys to these areas. Hopefully, I can someday return to Peru with my toys without getting them taken away or arrested by the authorities.
It both aches and warms my heart to see this. It aches because it's so sad and unfair, that a beautiful culture and people are discriminated against and live in such poverty. It warms my heart, to at least, get a glimpse of them in their colorful ways, and to see the smiles of the children.
Rina and all who help, thank you for what you are doing, it makes a difference! I wish you all the best in the new year!
Awww thank you so much for your beautiful and kind comment, it is extremely heartbreaking to see the way this children and their parents live, thank again for taking the time to write this comment ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽
I'm extremely heart broken many children in the world survive on stuff that's in the rubbish you deserve more likes more views more subs and more love for what you do
"lamentablemente, por mucho que quiera volver, es imposible conseguir juguetes en el país. La última vez que estuve allí, me detuvieron en la aduana durante horas; amenazaron con confiscar mis juguetes y meterme en la cárcel. Después de pagar una gran suma de dinero, me dejaron ir, pero me dijeron que no se me permitía regresar al país con juguetes."
Maldita sea soy peruano y odio como a mi gobierno no le importan estos niños, lo que haces es admirable y si no lo van a hacer ellos por lo menos deberian dejar que personas bondadosas lo hagan, admiro muhco lo que haces!
Muy de acuerdo con usted😭😭😭 me da tanta tristeza de que la gente sea tan cruel y que no les importe nuestros niños que son lo más valioso que y vulnerable que tenemos que cuidar y proteger ❤️❤️❤️
MY HEART BLEEDS FOR THESE BEAUTIFUL INNOCENT INDIGENOUS CHILDREN. YOUR AN ANGEL. YOU DESERVE SO MUCH PRAISE HELP SUPPORT. IF I WAS A MILLIONAIRE, ID GIVE UP MY LIFE N WEALTH TO HELP YOU HELP THESE BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN
I love 😍 your comment; I feel the same. I wish 🙏 I had the talent to touch the heart of others and convince them to share💯
So sad they are descriminated. We should support them and they are the one in need. They don’t have source of income to support their daily needs. In my country back home in the Philippines I am trying my very best to feel them they are part of the society thats why every Christmas i gave them toys,cook foods, clothes and groceries .🙏❤️ 😔 Thanks Rina for including them in your mission.God bless you .
The world desperately needs more kind people like you thank you so much for been and angel in children’s life ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Is it possible for you to purchase toys in Peru and some other places so that you don't get stopped in customs?
Thanks for asking👍. I pay for most of the expense$ out of my pocket; toys are costly in the USA and much more in other countries, and quality is horrible. If I don't pick up used toys here and take them, I could not afford them; a small toy runs $30-150 each. If I found donors, I wouldn't still recycle used toys, but I could afford lawyers and transport companies to help move the toys. Finding cash donations has been difficult for me; even growing my channel is challenging, helping children isn't exciting for most.
I agree million percent what u do I support it lots I like what u do help al the children I will do the same
Thank you so much❤️❤️❤️❤️
😭❤️⭐xx

♥ I appreciate your support. We focus on taking toys🚜🧸⛵ and 👟 but we try to take a little food and 💵. I pay for most expenses, so what we can do is limited. If you are open to it, please share my work.
You're doing God's work.
