Last school day in Peru

Written by Jane, Peru in-country agent

Today was the last day at the school for the Antips group. All Peruvian schools have closed and the volunteers are preparing their further travels.

Despite this, the Antips group worked really hard to finish off their lessons and the computer centre so that we could celebrate together with the teachers and students on their last day.

There was lots of dancing, singing and reciting of poems. Each of the Antips received a Peruvian beanie made by the mothers in the community.

The computer centre looks great with six new computers, printer and photocopier. The kids were so excited to sit in front of the machines. They had no idea how to use even the mouse but it won't take them long to learn.

Half the group are off on the Inca Trail on Sat and then they all start their travels to Arequipa, Nazca, Brazil etc.

We have been so proud of this group. From the beginning they were very organised with their lesson plans and required very minimal assistance. The kids have really benefited from the classes and are retaining a lot of information. The were very organised with their project planning, running the budget and ensuring that the computer centre was finished on time.
