About the House of Peru
Mission Statement
To share our culture with the community at large.
Vision
To build a physical site – a cottage - where to promote, nurture,
display and enjoy our culture among the International Cottages in Balboa Park.
To this end, the House of Peru will provide the community with
free Peruvian dance, culinary, film, video and editing lessons,
as well as art, drawing, Spanish language and Peruvian history classes.
The House of Peru will also organize arts and crafts exhibits, conferences,
museum tours, social events, Independence Day celebrations, and
will provide information on family law, women's issues, medical
benefits, health education and basic immigration matters.
Project
The House of Peru is a non-profit organization 501(C)3. This is the
first Peruvian cultural house outside of Peru, and it has been added
to the 31 houses of different countries registered with the "House
of Pacific Relations," also known as "International Cottages,
Inc." We hope to build our cottage in the area dedicated to the cultural
houses in the beautiful Balboa
Park, which also houses important museums and is the cultural
center of San Diego.
Committees
The House of Peru has formed several committees to help in its mission
to raise the awareness level of Peruvian culture in the community
at large. If you’d like to participate on any of them, please
contact that committee's director. See list below.
