This Weeks News

*We are holding our first ever food drive tomorrow for San Gabriel Kindergarten.  The canned goods that we collect will be used to supplement the fresh vegetables that we are growing in our greenhouse to provide our students with breakfast and lunch on a daily basis.

*Our friends and volunteers Cheryl and Nick Willard of Canada are organizing a silent auction to raise money for San Gabriel.   This event is gaining momentum and is going to be a huge success.  Details to follow.  Thanks for your great work guys!

*We have gained the support of an amazing non-profit organization in Cusco that offers Spanish classes, salsa lessons, home-stays and recommends volunteer opportunities.   This organization is unique because they hire and train women from the community to teach their Spanish classes.  Students pay the teachers directly. They also do not charge people for volunteer placement.  Fairplay

*We are collecting video footage of local families that are affiliated with our school in order to create a short film aimed at gaining sponsorship for each child.   In addition, we are also working to create a short film about the agricultural component of our school.
