Education & nutrition for children in Peru

I hope all is well. Twenty-eight students and three teachers were involved in this year’s Impington International College, Cambridge, United Kingdom, trip. Thanks to everyone who donated to their fundraising pages and the students’ hands-on work we were able to accomplish so much over their ten day stay.

The final terrace of the vegetable garden was cleared of rocks and levelled out. Drip-irrigation was installed and vegetable seedlings were planted, including onion, beetroot, lettuce and cabbage.

The temporary large stone steps between the main school and the classroom which was built on the first Impington trip were replaced (lots of rock which was removed from the vegetable garden went into the concrete mix.)

We used part of the funds raised to build an oven in the school. This will be used primarily for baking bread and for larger-scale school meals and celebrations.

Fifteen students received one-on-one teaching in maths, languages, English and art. The school storeroom and library was also given a good clean and sort.

A large mural was painted to celebrate the relationship with the school and Impington International College.

As is tradition the trip was finished off with dance and food. 

Thank you so much to all of you who donated to this year’s trip and helped us achieve what we did in such a short space of time. Thank you also to all of you who donated in support of previous trips which allowed us to add more each year culminating in finishing the vegetable garden and other projects this year. 

There is still more to do in 2025…!

cheers
