Thank you for making me aware of this.  My son served in the Peace Corps and also developed a project along with the parents and faculty of the school in which he served---to develop a resource center for the study of English.  The resources they had were very outdated and limited.

This project of Ana's for kids with special needs is a wonderful way to invest in the education of children and families and extend the work of one PCV!!

Blessings, Sue Peterson

    Hi Jim, this is interesting, thanks for the resource!
     
    I've been thinking of you all weekend because I went to a training on
    participatory community development that I think you would have really
    appreciated.
     
    Big hug to everybody in Florida,

    Subject: Greeting from Peru (with a better attachment)

    Hello Friends and Family. As my time here in Peru comes to a close I am
    reaching out to you and asking for support with my Healthy Classrooms
    Project. I have had the pleasure of working with the only Special Needs
    School in my community these last two years and plan on implementing a
    Multi-Sensory Classroom as a way for this school to continue to grow and
    potentially thrive.
     
     
     
    Children with disabilities in these rural parts of Peru suffer from more
    than lack of resources; they lack understanding, acceptance and support.
    They are often hidden from society, kept from attending school or other
    activities that would allow them to become an integral part of society.
    This Special Needs school is the ONLY school available to these children
    and it is looking to help them overcome the stigma and prejudices they face
    every day by providing them with basic life skills and sustainable health
    practices. I personally have gotten to know and love the students at this
    school, and believe that this project will change not only the lives on
    these special needs children, their families and educational community but
    also the community at large. It will give them an opportunity to have a
    sense of ownership and pride and most importantly love for their disabled
    children.
     
     
    Please Support Me by circulating this email and printing out the flyer and
    handing it out at work, school and other public spaces!
     
     
    Thank You
     
    Ana
