El Bichito visits Senati

SENATI is a techinal training college located just outside Banos del Inca for technical careers such as electricians, machinery and engineering. Our awesome interns took the El Bichito kids on a field trip there to help them see the benefits of education. Thirty-six kids were in attendence!




The director took them on a tour of the facility and explained each study program offered by the institution. The director encouraged the students to stay in school and pursue a career.




































To complete the tour of SENATI, the kids were taken to eat ice cream in an ice cream shop. Eliana said she loved seeing their happy faces, many of them had never visited an ice cream shop before this.

















Once they were back at El Bichito, the children were asked to share their experiences and Eliana said she was happy to hear that many of them want to be future mechanics or engineers. It seems as though this experience has had a great influence on the lives of these children. The interns plan to take the children to a hospital next!


Also, Eliana got SENATI to install a water heater at El Bichito for free! Way to go Eliana!

Thanks to Eliana for the photos and description of this awesome field trip!
