In November 1983, refugees from ten high Andean communities gathered in Ccarhuapampa, on the outskirts of the town of Tambo. From the beginning, Ccarhuapampa was organized around its Civil Defense Committee (CDC), which not only established a rigid surveillance system, but was also concerned with the development of the nascent community. The CDC undertook the lotization of the land (the 'urbanization') and implemented the social norms necessary for coexistence. This grouping of refugees was a response to the violence unleashed in the region by the internal armed conflict.
