PERU
Yantalo is a community in the Peruvian Amazon Jungle where the illiteracy rate is almost 50%. Currently, there are 150 children who travel up to 2 hours to get to school and many of whom suffer from malnutrition. Providing a kitchen behind the local school would allow the community to receive supplemental breakfasts from the government. The land has been purchased, the blueprints for the kitchen have already been submitted, and permits have been given. Volunteers in the July 2010 Expedition will provide the labor, and community members have agreed to provide on-going maintenance of the project.
