A group of twenty-four families returned to Uchuraccay after almost a decade of absence. This return was possible after months of coordination promoted by Elías Ccente, with the support of the National Evangelical Council of Peru. The community had been totally depopulated due to repeated attacks by the PCP-Sendero Luminoso, the forces of law and order and the peasant patrols of neighboring communities during 1983 and 1984, which caused the death of more than a hundred community members and forced the survivors to flee to the jungle, Tambo, Huanta, Huamanga and Lima.
