On December 19, 2014 we will celebrate our second graduating class and end the Peruvian school year. Because of YOUR generous donations we have had 8 years to prepare 10 more students for the opportunities awaiting them. They have a solid foundation they received from the CW school for girls to lean on. Leaving CW is always a bitter-sweet time for us all, but they have all taken advantage of YOUR gift of education and are well prepared for high school and the more challenging world of Cuzco.
To celebrate the achievements of the graduating girls, Ruth took all 10 girls on an overnight holiday to the Sacred Valley to expose them to their own heritage with a visit to the ancient Inca ruins of Ollantaytambo. They experienced their first sleepover in a pretty Pisac accommodation full of blooming red and yellow flowers, with dinner on table cloths and were treated as the special girls that they are. The final day outing included swimming, and playing in a paddle boat in a small lake. The girls have worked hard during their 8 years with CW and have grown and changed forever. They have big dreams today, way beyond the domestic chores of most girls from their background. Our girls understand that if they continue to work hard in high school, there is a whole new world within their reach. Confident and aware of their personal self worth today they KNOW they will have opportunities that the women before them never had or believed possible for their daughters. Thanks to the excellent academic and personal preparation at CW school for Girls they are prepared to make good choices.
Our girls shared a special weekend with their Director, their teacher and another teacher, and together they experienced what they never before had the opportunity to experience. They were all glowing and clearly enjoyed this time together.
