Education & nutrition for children in Peru

As always each year, classes are the last to restart in the Phoenix family following Summer School, led by Ediluz. This year was as ever a great success despite many of the children returning to the Sierra to work with their families; numbers were still excellent. As classes finally get underway in the past week, we intend to supply textbooks for all the children once again and also much needed classroom supplies. We hope to add another Phoenix teacher this year as we strive to cover each classes, which currently have a ration of one teacher for two classes.

Plans for the 4^th Annual Seven Continent Charity Challenge are underway where we ask anyone, anywhere in the world to do a fundraising event for Phoenix during 2018. It doesn’t have to be a huge event; from a dinner or BBQ party at home to walking, running or undertaking something you have always wanted to do though havn’t got round to it! The fundraising can be done through this page with funds going to Phoenix, the schools and more importantly the children.

For those looking for an excuse to head to Lake Atitlán in Guatemala and raise funds for the projects, we are organising a 4-day biking, volcano hiking and kayaking challenge between 21st to 26th May. Please let us know if you are interested in joining us, or even organizing your own challenge and we’ll add you to the list and give you tips to make it as successful as possible.

As ever, thank you all for your brilliant support.

Cheers
