Chicuchas Wasi girls honor their flag and country on Peru's Presidential Election Day
Peru just had their Presidential Election and all Peruvian schools are supposed to learn about the importance of voting to have your voice be counted, especially at the Chicuchas Wasi School. Everyone sang Peru's national hymn and the color guard marched the flag into the event and it was then raised on the flagpole behind the girls in ponchos.
The girls dressed in their red ponchos recited their poems and thoughts to all students assembled on this important day.
Do you remember the yearly school election we created to elect a school mayor? That experience has several purposes; we are teaching our girls HOW to vote, WHY it matters and that THEY can go home and TEACH their parents how to vote; we are preparing student leaders to be the CW school student body representative and to be the student voice to the teachers and administration. This plan has been very successful on both counts. Leadership training starts young and CW school is committed to empowering our girls to be the leaders of tomorrow - even a President one day.
