GG 50% MATCH Day this Wednesday July 12, 2017...SEE BELOW
CW School for Forgotten Rural Girls began with 13 little girls 20 years ago. However, CW celebrates 30 YEARS serving children of Cusco in 2017.
But first, in 1987 Chicuchas Wasi opened an emergency shelter for abandoned children and that project lasted 10 years. We learned from the abandoned children living on the streets of Cusco that all of them had uneducated and unprepared mothers unable to provide for their children when abandoned by their male provider. you see here to convince mothers the value of educating girls and preparing them for a better future and economic survival. Here Ruth and Gloria are with the first kindergarten class that opened the door.
Last week the California CW Board celebrated with local friends and supporters our 30 years of success. Later at the school in Cusco, Peru the school will celebrate the official 30 year celebration of our growth and achievements with CW School Administrator, Ruth Uribe, is the driving force moving the school forward with Gloria Vera at her side.
Below see the line up of the CW School Teachers and staff with Ruth.
OUR GRADUATES: We have had 4 empowered graduating classes move on to high school. Only two girls have been forced to quit high school. Almost all girls who have graduated are members of the CW Alumnae Sisterhood who meet monthly with Ruth to share their stories, problems and successes and to mentor and encourage CW girls who will graduate to public high school but are afraid they won't be accepted.
Thank you all for your financial support to educate our 115 girls
