Empowering at-risk Teenage Girls in Peru

We are excited to share with you the third report of our project Empowering At-Risk Teenage Girls!

It has been five months since we started working with 80 students from two night schools: ‘Juana Alarco de Dammert’ and ‘Romeo Luna Victoria’. Our 8-session program has just finished by the end of November.

During this time, we have talked and shared tools about how to overcome the past, develop a life plan, and get ready to go for it.

Pamela, 26 years old, a student and a street sales woman during the day, said ‘I realized that I used to be a little aggressive with my customers’. She learned how to handle her emotions to improve her selling skills. What is the most valuable lesson you learned during the program Pamela? ‘I learned that you can do whatever you want in this life. It all depends on you. Never give up!’.

Maria, the principal of Juana Alarco de Dammert School told us: 'The girls have made an important change, a possitive one, in the way they see their life. They are about to leave school and are going to be able to stand strong to overcome the difficulties they would face, because they have tools for it'.

One more time, a big thank you in the name of each one of these 80 teenagers, who will thrive because or your generous support! 

With gratitude,

Claudia

There are 10 more schools we would love to work with this coming 2019. The more we can help, the better.  With the tools we could offer them, their students, young ex-forced labor chidren, would be able to build prosperours life leaving behind the hard and risky conditions they live today. If you are willing to support them, please donate here. If you know someone who would like to help them, please feel free to share this email. Many more blessings for you!
