The
name has its origin in the Foundation of the Incas's Empire which is
based the Titicaca Lake's Legend.
This legend tell us about the two children of the god Sun: Manco
Capac and Mama Ocllo, who emerged from the water of the Titicaca Lake
and, obeying the mission commissioned
by The Sol( INTI ), they headed for the nor-west of the Kolla's
region,
carrying
a golden rod with them in order to try the land to fix their residence;
place and dwelling that should be chosen where the golden rod will sink.
So
then, fulfilling the bidding of his father the Sol,
Manco Capac
founded the Incas's Empire, in
Machupichu,
Cusco's province.

It
is for us very important to take as base our origins in order that we
can show it to the world, and it's for that reason that we have chosen
this name.
ABout the
sun's eye ( ÑAWI ),
it
represents the religious part,
the
all-seeing our Lord Jesus Christ.
So, it's the way how we
give origin to the name.
The
mark
has two very important objectives: The first: Being able to help
women of
scarce resources, that in mucha instances, she is head of
household in homes with as many as four children,
we
try to assist to this segment since it is the affected part in our society.
Our second objective, no less important, it's to be able to show to the
world our culture through the variety in handicraft from the coast,
the mountain
and the jungle of our country. The
work that you can appreciate comes from the ALLAHUASI that means
"The house of the Women Chosen", a place where women not only
receive support and capacitation also
handicrafts
courses in order to be able to generate earnings for their homes.
This
house belongs and is directed by the Congregation of San Jose's Sisters
of the Sacred Heart.
