TEACHERS are the BACKBONE to EDUCATE GIRLS in Peru

Here is an image that depicts our teachers and psychologist joyfully celebrating with the entire school last December. What an exceptional team we have as you will see in some of the stories I will post in the upcoming monthly updates.

Most girls who enroll each March are eager to go to school and are prepared to some extent with basic social experience and manners. However, we also receive girls that need our special attention to be able to develop a quality life integrated into society and not be lost forever to isolation. In this issue I will translate the story of one of these girls as told by her teacher.

                      *****************************

"María V. arrived at our CW educational institution accompanied by her mother in 2017, in hopes of a vacancy. According to the report from the mother, no public school would accept her because of her 'condition' and she was two years behind then. Since no other school accepted her in the Peruvian Education Ministry system, Maria V. was accepted by CW School (free of cost) for first grade in 2017 at 8 years of age, to avoid losing another year of study. The Mother's condition of health was delicate due to a brain tumor and was sent to Lima to be treated and for this reason Maria lost two years of study. Thank God her mother now is receiving treatment."
 
"María came to Chicuchas Wasi in a situation of complete moral abandonment; she had aggressive and intolerant behavior with her peers, she was given a psychological learning evaluation that showed a "moderate" intellectual deficit."
 
"For 2018 and constant requests, she was promoted to second grade over a period of time. Maria worked on her behavior and improved her character with her classmates. Today Maria is a girl who is very dear to her classmates and she is part of the group. All the difficulties that she presented with are changed, she is different; she is very communicative, she shares many things with her companions, she helps her companions, she lends her supplies to the compañeras who forget to bring hers, and she is a collaborator in the groups. María likes to sing, dance and tell stories and she likes to dress up as a princess and she enjoys those moments in school."
 
"María has a difficulty in writing but not painting because her drawings are very beautiful, but she relates it to her family."  - Elizabeth Pereira Cruz, Teacher 2^nd grade 2018
