Educate 120 Girls in Cusco for Economic Survival

Chicuchas Wasi girls honor their flag and country on Peru's Presidential Election Day

Peru just had their Presidential Election and all Peruvian schools are supposed to learn about the importance of voting to have your voice be counted, especially at the Chicuchas Wasi School. Everyone sang Peru's national hymn and the color guard marched the flag into the event and it was then raised on the flagpole behind the girls in ponchos.

The girls dressed in their red ponchos recited their poems and thoughts to all students assembled on this important day.

Do you remember the yearly school election we created to elect a school mayor? That experience has several purposes; we are teaching our girls HOW to vote, WHY it matters and that THEY can go home and TEACH their parents how to vote; we are preparing student leaders to be the CW school student body representative and to be the student voice to the teachers and administration. This plan has been very successful on both counts. Leadership training starts young and CW school is committed to empowering our girls to be the leaders of tomorrow - even a President one day.

Chicuchas Wasi girls are expanding their world...

You can’t imagine how much the new school bus has lifted our spirits, eliminated the old mechanical failures and lessened the shuttle runs to and from school each day.  

                      THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! 

We are all still smiling with an inner-glow from all those little-girl-hugs we received on our visit to the school a few weeks ago, plus all the love showered upon us all from the 112 girls and staff. What a wonderful glimpse of our CW school for our tour travelers who felt the love that permeates all who experience CW for the first time. I am always amazed and grateful each time I experience the success of CW.

These are our girls, delivered safely every day to school in our new bus. They have big dreams of becoming teachers, nurses, doctors and run their own business one day. See bus image below.

“I have never met anyone so broken they had nothing to offer.  All of us are broken from time to time, and feel we can't give back very much.  But then, in another season, we find we can once again come to the table, bring whatever we have to offer -- and it is more than enough.  This is true regardless of how much money we have.  Our real capital is the fundamental wholeness of the human spirit.”   - Wayne Muller, Bread for the Journey

           ********************************************

Our daily hot meal program has improved the health and mental focus of our girls since we added more animal protein and vitamins. Our girls' parents organized themselves and planted corn, potatoes, lima beans and other veggies. We raiding sheep and guinea pigs for our kitchen also and putting a dent in the meal costs. We are now harvesting the veggies.

THANK YOU ALL FOR MAKING THE SCHOOL POSSIBLE FOR THESE SPECIAL GIRLS.

       **Please remember the MATCH opportunity Wed. June 15th.**
