Project Launch:

With World Connect’s support, local leaders provided materials, classes and workshops to a united group of young people in the communities of Reque, Chiclayo, Lambayeque, Peru. The group focused on personal development, arts and culture, sports and computer education in a kid friendly environment. They learned new and creative ways to approach school assignments and were provided with the means to explore their own creative interests. Grant funds were spent on supplies such as white boards, educational visual aids, interactive and educational games, a second hand computer and art supplies, all of which allowed for more interactive learning within the group. Also, basketball and soccer teams were formed in the community. Kids were taught skills and the rules of the games alongside valuable soft skills such as teamwork, tolerance and respect.
