Our girls love learning - even during covid lock-down, LOVE and JOY fill the air and hearts of our CW girls every single day...
CW still celebrate CW Graduates, even during bitter sweet moments around coved...
Christmas and the last days of the school year are just days away. Sadly, we cannot gather at the school to laugh while decorating our classroom trees, or share panettone and hot chocolate with friends or our official graduation ceremony for our 13 grads heading to High School next March. But, we are still going to celebrate at home with our families, and open our Christmas gift from our beloved school. Administrator/Director Ruth is once again packing up special food items like holiday panettone and hot chocolate, main meal ingredients and a gift for every girls to deliver to each girl's home for Christmas. Girls will use the recent Tablet donations (from Lima medical friends) to CW girls and their cell to share the excitement with classmates and teachers. So joy and love is really still in the air.
Below is an earlier kindergarten Christmas classroom with teacher Rita before covid. Next year will be new again, as all girls return to the school on March1, 2021. Ruth has met with parents and is meeting now with CW students to teach the new safety rules: distance, wash hands, mask and be vaccinated. Protecting our students, staff and families is top priority. See images below.
Please donate to give poor indigenous girls an education. Your support is changing lives and future generations to come.

THANK YOU
CW Administrator Ruth and teachers have made a plan to begin the 2022 school year cautiously and allow more students to be together as covid begins to exit Peru. The lead team has plans to split the classes a and school day so that one half of the student body will be in their classrooms at one time. We will monitor carefully how this goes and open up a little at a time. This will mean more school bus trips to transport girls safely to and from school and that will increase our budget to cover the gas. But this will be a workable plan or we will modify as needed.
Ruth met with all parents in a park to explain the new school plan and to explain rules for parents so they can enroll their daughters. All must be vaccinated and masked as we begin 2022. Those not showing proof of vaccination will not be able to register their daughters. Quickly parents scrambled to get vaccinated so we have almost 100 compliance in short order.
Please DONATE to EDUCATE GIRLS
Help us return to the CW school & all programs with your financial support. Every donation before Dec. 30.2021 is tax deductible due to the CW 501 (c) 3 tax exempt status.
