Founder

Created and financed a preparatory school program with two teachers and two social workers in Ventanilla, Peru. This program reintegrated twenty children, ages 6-17, into the Peruvian mainstream educational system. The children were provided with daily instruction in math, reading and writing, daily meals, school supplies, uniforms, and health insurance. The families of the children received weekly food staples and attended weekly workshops on nutrition, parenting, hygiene, sexual health, and citizen rights as part of the program.
