SACRED VALLEY, PERU
This small village, comprised of about 1000 people (about 200 children) and located high in the Andean Mountains, desperately needs help with their two small schools, an elementary and a preschool. They are solely responsible for the education of their children. Neither of the schools has electricity. The goal is to connect the existing power lines to the schools and install power jacks to each school while also finishing bathrooms for the elementary school, which has none. Finishing the bathrooms for the elementary school will give the children a sanitary place to clean, and the ability to function more effectively at school. The Peruvian government has implemented TV courses to supplement teaching specifically for small villages, so there is a lot of educational material on T.V. Electricity would be very helpful to increase and diversify grade level appropriate instruction for each individual student.
