Help Revolutionize Education For Peruvian Children

The pandemic has had a notable impact on the education and mental health of students globally. In this opportunity, we share with you an initiative co-created by students and their teacher Miguel, a participant in our Leadership Program.

In the rural community of Yauli in the Junín region, students from the José Santos Chocano 4th B secondary school are helping to solve emotional problems in their educational institution. With the support of teacher Miguel and school psychologist Maritza, the students started the project "A healthy brain, a healthy life”. Using the scientific method and seeking to solve a problem in their community, students began to develop a chatbot that seeks to address the ravage caused by the pandemic.

This project was presented at the school's science fair and could be carried out, despite the different economic and emotional obstacles of the students who participated in it. Teacher Miguel is very proud because his students were involved and enjoyed the scientific process. Now, he hopes that this scientific knowledge can be shared to continue solving other problems in the community.

We appreciate the support during all this time to make more stories like this one possible. Let's keep working together!

As the year draws to a close, we would like to take this opportunity to review some of the important achievements we have made thanks to your support. We will begin 2023 with the same commitment as always and inspired to reach our goal of providing quality education to the children of Peru.
We would like to share with you the story of Jenny, a professional in the Enseña Perú Leadership Program.

When Jenny was studying for a university degree in education, she had an excellent taste for the arts. For this reason, she completed several elective courses in the artistic field; but she did not calculate the great importance that this decision would have until now.

Currently, she teaches at a school in the city of La Libertad, and wants her students to enjoy her classes and learn along with her. However, capturing their attention was a challenge. She understood that a previous step to achieve the goal was to be able to accompany them in the management of their emotions. Therefore, she began to use the different artistic techniques and strategies she learned during her time at university.
In each class, her students are surprised because they like to live new learning experiences. Although many of them initially were frustrated with techniques such as the combination of colors or the contrast with crayons, little by little they understood that they should not be intimidated by the course and that making mistakes was part of the experience.
Today, they understand that art is a way to express their emotions and that it is important to enjoy the journey.

For 2023 let's keep writing more stories like this together!
