Changing lives of child domestic workers in Peru

Dear Friends,

At our Ludoteca, kids have just presented their theater play, after a whole month of rehearsal in January. From August 2016 up to January 2016, British volunteer Abigail has been working with children in child domestic work, using dramatic art to raise awareness about their civil rights. The title of the play was “Celeste y Apallimay”. It was meant to show parents and other members of the local community the hazardous activities entailed by domestic work and how child labor deprives children of leisure and education.

February was the last month of holiday for children. We organized several workshops to make the last part of their summer break fun. They participated in dancing, cooking, painting and crafting activities at the Ludoteca. These workshops are also part of our educational program, as they help boys and girls learn how to work in team, develop their creativity and improve their social skills. This was made possible by the amazing work of five of our promoters.

Children are now back to school and they are very excited to get to know their new teachers and classmates.

Our school support program keeps helping boys and girls in child domestic labor improve their grades. We help them do their homework and clarify doubts about things they did not understand in class. The books we have at the Ludoteca are very useful to do research and help kids prepare their oral presentations on different subjects. The great majority of children attending our center is getting very good grades! This is an amazing accomplishment for us.

We are very grateful to all of our supporters and donors for their continued and great generosity!
