Greetings to YOU, our loyal champions for Girl's Education,

In response to many requests, we invite you to journey with us to visit the Chicuchas Wasi School and meet the girls whose lives will be better because of the gift of education you give them with your donations. You will also explore the wonders of incredible Cusco, The Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu guided by our own CW Board member Efrain Valles who is a seasoned member of the CW family since he was 8 years old. This is a special THANK YOU opportunity created just for you. You will have the opportunity to meet the Chicuchas Wasi girls face to face and get to know them. Please see http://www.chicuchaswasi.org/ for more about the tour and school.

Efrain Valles, you may recall was the tour guide for our young supporter Mason, joined CW in 1989 when CW had a shelter for abandoned children. He is a professional Tour Guide and family man with 3 children today. Efrain is passionate about CW school and education for his daughter and the CW girls. He grew up in CW and understands more than most the hurdles these girls must overcome and they know and love his big heart. He is an amazing man and works hard for our girls.

Our teachers understand this quote well and you can feel the LOVE that flows through our school and fills us all.

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." -Leo Buscaglia
