TEACHERS are the BACKBONE to EDUCATE GIRLS in Peru

How do Chicuchas Wasi girls learn..

THANK YOU for supporting our girls and their education for 19 years. YOUR donations have kept our school doors open and education free to girls who otherwise could not attend school at all. 

                                      THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!

We teach CW girls the value of working together to come up with new ideas they never thought of alone and problem solving with their classmates for the best outcome. Every primary grade uses this style for some subjects and the girls have learned the value of collaboration with their classmates for great ideas. One assignment was to depict daily living (Project about Life) using math, creative problem solving for a better solution to a problem, sharing resources and more. The girls must write a report on their assignment, explain their findings and present them to the student body (photos of the 6th grade class). Younger students often eavesdrop, learn and copy the older girls - they too have big dreams and are eager to learn all they can.

Our girls dive into their assignment and don't mind the younger girls who gather around eager to learn about this lesson too. This is one of the ways to have our girls share their realities, daily responsibilities and difficulties and come up with better ways to reach their daily goals or help their families. CW girls have big dreams for their futures, becoming teachers, nurses, doctors and run their own business one day and empower each other as they share their realities and positive attitudes.

To exaggerate the point, Ruth created a plan to help our soon-to-graduate girls understand better the huge responsibility and life changing reality of having a baby too young. The 6th grade girls were each given two raw eggs to care for as if they were their real babies. They could brag about their babies, adorn them to their liking but they could not neglect them and must protect them from breaking just like in real life.

The 6th grade girls about to move on to a co-ed high school are vulnerable to become teen mothers and needed a graphic learning experience that the raw eggs provided. Having a baby requires preparation that an 11 - 12 year old is too young to have and the ability to provide and care for the baby; housing, food, washing diapers, medical care if needed and so much more. The raw eggs didn't always get the care needed during this lesson and some broke. The girls got the point.
