Thank you for your donations! Due to your generous contributions, Enseña Perú has been able to keep growing and reach more students. We have some amazing news and we want to share the story of Max with you:
"I feel very excited to have achieved things that I never thought I could do. Every person with whom I have spoken gave me more security to have a clean beach." said Max, a high school student of our professional, Iván.
"Clean Beach" is a project that was born when students in the district of Chao, Piura, discovered that the beach they used to go since they were children, had been completely covered with rubbish that the rains, landslides and floods brought with them during the summer of this year. The beach had lost its charm, its vibes and above all, its reason for being: a meeting point for all the inhabitants of the area.
Max and his friends organized to change this reality and recover their beloved beach. With the help of their relatives and neighbors, they managed to execute several tasks to clean the area. But for Max that was not enough, he felt he could do much more. Thanks to his perseverance and his conviction in himself and in the people around him, he decided to go to the authorities in his district for support.
The municipality of the district, not only supported the project, but also ordered an excavator to remove all the remaining trash of the damaged beach!
At the end, a total area of 7,800 m2 was cleaned. This number were determined by all the students through the knowledge they acquired about composite areas in their geometry course.
"It keeps me motivated and happy to know that Max started conversations with so many people, mobilized so many with only one objective and that, thanks to his leadership and persistence, managed to get the beach back in a few days under the best conditions" said Ivan to us.
See the opportunities and abilities in the students and, always believe in them, confirms us once again, that #ItsPosible.
