CAMPAÑA ESCOLAR

CAMPAÑA ESCOLAR

Como todos los años, este 13 de Abril, hemos cumplido con el compromiso con nuestros niños de PUSA PUSA e HICHUHUAYCO, dos anexos de Caylloma,  realizando la Campaña Escolar de acuerdo a lo previsto. 

Nuestro viaje fue algo accidentado y largo, ya que partimos a las 5:00 am y llegamos a verlos aproximadamente a las 10: 00 am. sin embargo la recompensa de dibujar una sonrisa en el rostro de nuestro niños ha sido nuestra gran recompensa. 

Hemos podido llevarles útiles escolares que les permitan afrontar este nuevo año, pero por sobre todo queremos incentivar sus ganas de estudiar pese a las difíciles condiciones que les toca afrontar, ya que sabemos de sus ganas de aprender y su espíritu, siempre incansable, sigue presente. La ilusión de cada niño por aprender es una gran satisfacción; más para los Héroes que ellos tienen, sus profesores; quienes realizan grandes para que esta misión sea posible. Desde la Fundación Art Atlas nos hemos comprometido a apoyarlos y ayudarlos en todo aquello que sea posible, esperando que a fin de año podamos ver los resultados de un año lleno de sacrificios y esfuerzo.

Como siempre las imágenes hablan por sí solas y estos niños están ahora incentivados a poder cumplir con sus anhelos y tienen ahora las herramientas para asistir a clases y dar lo mejor de si.

Compartimos ahora las fotos de esta actividad….

“Actually, I feel really happy because since I began work with Art Atlas. I received the possibility of doing beautiful work with a fair payment and continuity. Now I can take care of my children and family. I feel that my work is valuable, and I am working hard to progress. I am learning in the training courses that I receive, and now I am helping other women from my community that like me, want to work and progress.

Thank you for the possibility.” - Eva Arivilca
