Future Plans

• Paccha got electricity in 2007, which provides an opportunity to start a computer lab and a library. 
   
• Health issues such as nutritional deficiencies and the lack of potable water cannot be ignored.  Comunidad has overseen some outhouse upgrade projects and will continue this effort while also monitoring basic sanitation.
   
• Support of the graduates to apply to the scholarship program and meet with them during the course of their studies.
   
• Encourage the local and federal government to take responsibility for the school programs we have started, while continuing our support of those programs in the meantime.

For 2011

It was decided on the November 2010 visit to agree to the requests by the parents in San Martin de Ajomarca, to provide a pre-school teacher and lunch to their 28 children in need.  This will start at the beginning of the next school session in March, 2011.  This will mean employing five teachers, providing daily lunches for over 200, and providing scholarships to 5-9 students. Comunidad is taking on even more responsibility and we’ll need all the support we can get!

Comunidad also intends to increase the number of library books.  Approximately 30 of the 650 books delivered to the villages were a delightful hard cover, written and illustrated by the senior Spanish class from River Falls, Wisconsin. What a joy to launch the libraries; unfortunately however, there were only 650 books, but over 800 students.  We have a future book project in the works with River Falls Rotary and Rotary International.
