Over the past months Pueblo a Pueblo held two activities for scholarship students at the Chacaya Elementary School: a dental clinic and a mid-year delivery of school supplies.
The dental clinic was scheduled for late June and all 42 scholarship students in Chacaya were invited. At the clinic, all students were provided with general checkups and free fillings, extractions, and operations, as necessary.
The delivery of school supplies took place shortly after and was intended to address any shortage of materials that students had experienced following the first six months of the school year. The provision of these supplies also relieves economic pressures for families, which are characteristic at this time of year, when harvests wane and steady work is hard to come by.
The rest of the year will be dedicated to making sure that students continue to receive the support - both financial and otherwise – that they need to graduate in October. It’s our favorite moment of the year, watching these students walk the stage to receive their diplomas. Just a few more months!
In the meantime, we wish all of you a happy, healthy summer and we’ll keep you updated on any new developments!
