TEACHERS are the BACKBONE to EDUCATE GIRLS in Peru

Chicuchas Wasi is celebrating 28 years of success serving the children of Cusco. 

                  FIESTA! The entire school is ready for our big celebration! 

 Time flies when you love what you do! Chicuchas Wasi school students, teachers and staff are all passionate and proud about the incredible impact we have been able to make in the community we serve.

The CW success for over 28 years, last 18 years as a school for the 110 girls and families we serve, is visible through their achievements. Our girls who have gone on to high school have been noticed and many have been awarded the highest achievers at the new high school. The same schools who believed our girls did not have the smarts for high school. Just watch them soar - now that they are given the opportunity.

The Anniversary Celebration was created by our fabulous teachers. Each teacher prepared a presentation with her grade class, the dances, poems, songs and skits they presented were outstanding. 

                                                     **********

"Teaching is more than imparting knowledge, it is inspiring change."                                                                                           Investing in education for girls delivers results      

                            *PLEASE DONATE TODAY*      THANK YOU 

CW founder, Rae Lewis was visiting and so other celebrations were included. Rae's birthday was celebrated with a beautiful three tiered cake created by Aydee, our 4th grade teacher. Sorry no room for photo.

                                                     **********

The CW 6th grade Promotion to high school celebration is very near and the class chose Rae to be their Madrina for their class. The Madrina is the class sponsor. See photo below

                                                     **********

Meditation is being taught in many US schools today to help students reduce their stress level more effectively and manage their emotions - in only 5 minutes. Our girls have plenty of both and Rae took the opportunity to teach all students, staff, family and friends to meditate while visiting the school. The entire group found it helpful and calming in stressful moments. The teachers plan to add meditation to their class time each week.
