Changing lives of child domestic workers in Peru

Dear Supporters,

Jugando Aprendo is very grateful for your donations, which allow us to continue one more year to change the lives of children and adolescents, work with their mothers, and keep training our promoters.

Summer activities are always fun, playful and educational at the same time. The program "LUDOVERANO" was carried out, with the participation of 20 girls, 10 boys and 10 adolescents. This is something that they enjoy very much, since in the area where they live there are no play areas. We organized cooking classes, where the children learned how to prepare rich and nutritious salads. However, the bakery class was the one they liked the most: they prepared quinoa pudding, banana ice cream and cupcakes. These classes also served to emphasize the importance of hygiene and teamwork.

Other activities that children and teenagers enjoyed were Peruvian traditional dance classes and handicraft workshops, where they made ceramics, puppets and personal agendas that they were able to take home to show them to their families.

Children and teenagers are very happy to start school. This year we will continue to provide school support sessions and provide books and materials to help with their learning process.

We want to tell you that Peru is going through a difficult situation, because of the landslides in the north of the country and in Lima. In our area, Nueva Rinconada, we experienced water supply issues. Due to scarcity and high costs, many families were left without water for several days. We hope that this situation will be resolved soon and in the meantime, we will face it together!

Thank you!

Best regards,

Eveli Leyva
