Sol y Luna Foundation

Sol y Luna Foundation

The Sol y Luna Foundation dates back to 1998 and is led by Petit Miribel, who moved to Urubamba in the Sacred Valley of Peru in the 1990s. The foundation comprises the Sol y Luna School, Paqari, which supports children with special needs, the Sol y Luna Home for orphans, and Roots & Wings, which provides further education.

Avila Reizen has offered Sol y Luna accommodations on Peru trips for many years, which the Sol y Luna Foundation fully funds. Unfortunately, tourism to Peru declined significantly in 2023, making it very challenging for Sol y Luna to maintain operations. Therefore, the Avila Foundation has adopted Sarai from the Sol y Luna Foundation to support her through 2024.

Food for Food – Neighborhood Initiative

The Haarlem neighborhood initiative "Food for Food" organized three "Food for Food" events during the coronavirus pandemic.

Shopping, cooking together, and personally delivering to neighbors resulted in a delicious roti meal. All proceeds from the meals were donated to the Avila Foundation to support the Casa Blanca project.

The first event was held during Easter 2020 and raised €1,030.
The second event was held during Christmas 2020 and raised €500.
The third event was held during Easter 2021 and raised €1,347.

What a fantastic initiative! We are deeply grateful to all the neighbors who contributed!
