Borja, Loreto, Peru
The sleepy village of Borja is located just south of the Ecuadorian border on the north western border of the Peruvian province of Loreto. It has a population of around 500 people and was founded in 1634. Since then, advancement in the quality of life and technology has fallen behind. As of now, they only have three hours of electricity per day and there are only two telephones for everyone to share. There are no restaurants and no streets, where the most advance mode of transportation is a bicycle. On a more positive note, the people have welcomed us whole-heartedly and look forward to the opportunities that will come from the influx of cash and jobs provided by The Graystone Company.
