General information
We are an official peruvian NGO founded in Trujillo, Peru in 2013 with the purpose of creating a community that would share the same values: ethics, morals and solidarity.
“In order to fight against societal problems, we take part in a better education based on these values, from the earliest childhood at school and at home. We invest in these children because they are our future and the base of the community we build” Juan Castillo founder and president
We work with a primary school “Simon Lozano Garcia”, in a very poor area in Trujillo.
Our programs:
- English lessons: following the national curriculum, we give lessons to every child in primary school (370 students)
- Afterschool Program: from 1 to 3pm, everyday. Primary school children don’t have lessons in the afternoon, they stay on their own .We offer many pedagogical activities: arts, games, self-esteem workshops, sports, countries presentation…
- Summer program: children don’t travel for holidays. We organize for them and their families English lessons, games, cooking workshops….**
