Empowering Indigenous Girls in the Peruvian Amazon

The covid does not stop us. In this context, we seek new ways to stay connected to our students and provide them with the best educational experience possible. Our PEP (Professional of Enseña Peru) Naysha Pierce tells us about her experience carrying workbooks for her students in Amazonas:

"We close July in the best way: with work modules for all our students! It is an immense joy to have in our hands these notebooks that, from now on, will be the guides for our students from all secondary schools in Wawaim. And a joy even greater was having been able to go back to the community and have been with them.

There are honestly no words to describe how good it is there. In the simple things, the wonders are better appreciated, and although the challenge continues, starting with making sure that these modules reach absolutely everyone, especially our students who are currently in the most distant communities (up to two days on foot), It has been and is a great step to have already started.

There is no greater inspiration than sharing with them, taking a class and then play. It is an ineffable emotion to see their faces hungry of conversations, smiles and feelings to be given in its entirety. Back in the game with this great new adventure on Project Based Learning! They help us reconnect, they inspire us, they allow us to continue and for a moment, we forget that there is still a virus that is still there. But we continue because there is a great reason to do so.

We trust that the hard work of these months that follow will be seen reflected in everything they will learn and demonstrate in the journey. We will continue for the dreams of all our students! It is a very big challenge, but the desire to continue adds a lot as a key piece to finish assembling this great educational puzzle. "

The pandemic put us in a difficult situation, education is in a state of emergency. At Enseña Perú we believe in the power of education and we trust in the potential of all Peruvians to change this figure. We want a country where each student has the opportunity to fulfill their purpose and achieve their dreams. Let's keep working together building bridges that bridge the gaps in education.
