The Mary Bloom Center is a medical and educational center in Puno, Peru, one of the poorest areas in the Western Hemisphere. Besides its medical clinic dedicated to women's health, the Center sponsors the Major Robert D Lindenau Tutoring Program.

Through a social worker, the Bob Lindenau Tutoring Program identifies children in danger of losing a school year. It equips children with a
​school uniform, shoes and other clothes needed to attend public schools. It then provides after school and Saturday morning tutoring in mathematics and other challenging subjects. The students receive a hot meal which is often the most nourishing meal of the week. 

Named for Fr. Phil Bloom's mom the Center promotes the values most important to her: faith, family and children.

We currently have 51 children in the Bob Lindenau Tutoring Program. The cost per child is $75 per month. This covers remuneration for social worker, tutors, cook, and other staff, as well as clothing and school supplies, meals, transportation and other needs. If you wish to sponsor a child, please click the donation button above and make a monthly donation of $75. If you are able to sponsor two siblings, please make a donation of $150 per month.
