TEACHERS are the BACKBONE to EDUCATE GIRLS in Peru

All of Cusco and the CW School join the local custom and celebrate All Souls Day

This is the time of year when Peruvian local customs dominate.In Cusco on All Souls Day, you will see Cusqueñans offering masses and candle-lit vigils in cemeteries around the graves of their deceased loved ones; this is when families visit the cemetery with the favorite food and beverage for the deceased and sit and share stories around their grave.

The entire CW school celebrated All Saints Day and All Souls Day on November 1st and 2nd to commemorate the saints and the dead like all of Peru does each year.

The 'baby bread' (PanWawa) with its sugar painted baby face is baked or bought and shared with all. Recent visitors during this celebration came to our school and gifted PanWawa Bread to every girl and a large PanWawa for teachers and staff to share.               THANK YOU!
Today the girls also have discovered the American Halloween.  Here are some photos to enjoy. 

NOTICE: Our annual Peruvian Buffet at the Sazon Peruvian Restaurant normally kicks off our holiday fundraiser for the 2020 CW school budget. Sadly it had to be cancelled. The Northern California wild fires all around us forced every resident and business to focus on their families and employee safety. We will reschedule in 2020 and it will be fun and tasty I promise. 

          Please DONATE to EDUCATE GIRLS this holiday season.
