Education for children in Ecuador

Once again we got to celebrate the graduation of our 7th graders at the 3 schools in which we work in Ecuador. Up at Huayrapungo, Diana and Luisa, the two inaugural beneficiaries of our new High School sustainable initiative, Plan Cuy, enjoyed a quiet day of celebrations with volunteers and the children. Plan Cuy (or Guinnea Pig) involves providing families with a suitable pen and breeding Cuy which can generate food and income and ultimately keep the kids in school.

And the great news is….all of this year’s graduates will be going to High School with the support of GVI!!

At the community Larcacunga Senorita Fanny organized a big party to mark the end of term, it was great to see the community celebrating and the kids succeeding.

Thank you so much for your support!

The first three months of the year has seen huge progress with the children, especially as many teachers are missing school for new training, we are able to continue all education so the children do not miss out. The children in secondary school are still afforind their secondary educations with the proceeds from Plan Moo, the cows donated to the families. Many thanks
