Helping out at a shanty town school
The 'Corporation de Educacion Popular' ("C.E.P.") is a unique schooling project built with the blood, sweat and tears of the population of one of Trujillo’s shanty towns, Ramon Castilla. The parents had to take action because the Peruvian state couldn’t offer them anything better. They hope that their kids will get more and a better education then they had when they were their age. Although there is still a lot missing to fulfill their dream the school is up and running. They can use your help inside and outside the classrooms!
