Help Revolutionize Education For Peruvian Children

THANK YOU for your generous donations! The children of Julcan sponsored by you have had a life changing year, where they have started to improve their academic performance getting an extraordinary academic growth! Check the chart which is attached.

• We started the year with 78% of our students with an academic delay of between 1 and 2 years. By the end of the year only 16% kept this academic gap.
• Now, more than 50% of students in the region are at the top level of accomplishment, which is comparable to the best students results of Peru. At the beginning of the year, we only had less than 4% at that level.
• Furthermore, there are 31% of children that no longer have an academic delay.

However, academic accomplishment is not the only issue we work with this children. It’s very important ( if not more important) than they improve their self-confidence and other social abilities to succeeded in life. We have 4 numbers to qualified them: 0 Pre Rookie, 1 Rookie, 2 Intermediate, 3 Advanced and 4 Outstanding. Check the chart which is attached to see how they’ve improved during 2014.

• At the beginning of the year they barely work in their abilities and focalized in their weakness. At the end of the year, they do not only are aware of their weakness but they’ve also improved their skill to confront adversity.
• Same happened with their abilities to express ideas and provide solutions to problems. Now they don’t feel anything will stop them, because is up to them to find solutions.

We share with you a breathtaking story about a boy we have tell you before: Rony. Last year, 2014, he did not only improve his academics results, started to read and write and started to close his gap at school, but he also made a remarkable effort during EnseñaPerú's 6th Dinner Gala. He had the chance to make a small speech in front of 450 important entrepreneurs, mobilizing them to become agents of change in Peruvian’s education. Everyone was very moved for the words he had written himself and reaffirm their commitment with the importance of an excellent education in Perú.

What do you think? Can we make all little children accomplish as much as Ronnie did? We believe it’s possible. And that’s why we keep on working everyday at Julcan. Thank you very much for providing us the chance to transform the life of this children through education!

Thanks to your contributions children of Julcan keep progressing towards academic achievement. Learn about our results!

The chart shows improvement in Math and Communications (63% of students stepped out of Level 0 in both subjects). In Communications, only 4% of students were at Level 3 at the beginning of the year. Now this percentage has reached the 26%.

We share with you a breathtaking story about a boy, Walter, who is each and every time challenging himself to overcome his fears. This by making a personal effort and thanks to the support of all his classmates.

Walter just turned nine years old. He is the youngest of five siblings and is in third grade. His weight and height is that of a six year-old kid. Besides, he has moderate anaemia, which he is controlling with medication provided by a health post. However, his biggest challenge is to improve his self-confidence. At the beginning of the year, when he was told to correct an exercise or to do it better, he started to cry incessantly. Furthermore, when he was called to do an exercise on the board his nervousness was clear: the marker fall out of his hands and he couldn’t stop holding them. Despite that, we all could perceive his continuous effort for doing an excellent job. Step by step, with the support of all the classroom, Walter is more confident when answering questions; when he is wrong, he corrects himself with self-assurance; and when he solves an exercise on the board he does his best. All of this has led him to reach a remarkable academic progress.

I remember the Principal of the school spoke with me regarding Walter’s progress. He told me that until last year Walter did not read at all. He was pleasantly surprised when he visited my classroom and had the opportunity to listen to Walter reading fluently and with confidence.

Thank you very much once again. We are very happy to have your support.
