Meet a few of the enthusiastic 115 Chicuchas Wasi School Girls you have supported in 2017. Beginning at age 4 and up to age 12, we provide an education their own mothers were unable to receive. This is thanks to all of the incredible people like YOU who value education for poor GIRLS even when their society and culture does not.
CW school, at the end of each Peruvian academic school year, gives every student an earned Diploma to prove that they completed and passed on to the next grade level. This honors their accomplishment with this proof that they have been to school also should their parents move too far for them to attend CW - this occasionally happens. Here our youngest girls (not in red uniforms) proudly hold up their diplomas. When they are promoted to the first grade they will receive their red uniforms identifying them as a CW primary school student. The upper grades also receive their diplomas through the 6th grade when they graduate and move on to public high school.
Ruth stands next to one student who has been part of CW since she was 5 years old and proudly hands this high achieving 2017 graduating student a special diploma acknowledging her dedication to her education. She will go far.

This is a bittersweet moment for the graduating class of 2017 as they move on and leave the loving arms of their special home away from home for many 6-8 years. These 6th grade girls will leave CW School for Girls to move on to public High School - yes, but they will also join the 37 CW graduates currently in high school and become members of the CW Alumnae Sisterhood who meet weekly with the the CW psychologist for support over a lunch meetings in his home. These girls will continue to be part of their beloved school and receive the support otherwise lacking in their lives. Thanks to YOU!
