Summary
OACA has developed an environmental education resource kit for primary schoolchildren that includes a backpack, binoculars, book, teacher guide, games and puppets to be distributed to 100 schools.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
In Lima and throughout Peru in general, there is very little environmental conscience. This project aims to obtain "seed money" to replicate a successful pilot Environmental Education Program, that introduces environmental issues in the primary school curricula.

Private companies: Corporate social responsibility program benefiting public schools
Private schools: "school to school solidarity program"
How will this project solve this problem?
