Before I tell you about the new school project I want to introduce you to Itzel. Itzel is local supporter of Chicuchas Wasi and registered nurse at a local hospital. She has been a enthusiastic CW volunteer since 2012 as a high schooler and has now returned to help. Rae has entrusted Itzel to continue the CW newsletters while she takes care of her health. The newsletters will continue every 2-3 months while Itzel amd Rae work together and she learns the ropes.

This school year CW teachers created the "Financial Education Project" which is a hands-on learning experience that allows the girls to have a better understanding of how money is acquired. One of the experiences that allowed the girls to make money was through our garden workshop. Below is an additional list of opportunities that allow the girls to further earn money.
Financial Education Project
Every student each month will receive a salary of 1200 soles for the following earned activities.
1. Overall classroom respectfulness: 250 soles
2. Completion of classroom responsibilities: 250 soles
3. Chores : 200 soles
4. Completion of chores: 500 soles
5. Overall kindness: 500 soles
Total = 1,700 soles/ month
If good deeds are made bonuses are given and if standards are not met soles are taken away. With this knowledge, each month, the girls at CW calculate how much they will earn to set aside money for the yearly November fair. This fair allows them to learn how to save and organize their soles so that they will have money to spend throughout the months and fair.
