An exciting school year in the AndesComunidad was able to get 12 new sewing machines to our three rural Andean communities, during the month of July. The machines are for the students and their families, and their response has been robust! We are excited by their excitement. Humberto carefully sourced the machines, secured fair prices and had them transported to the villages. We hope the machines will open up a source of income as they develop their skills, and yes there is now a sewing class offered.The agricultural project...

The 2022 school year started in mid March, and it’s mostly in person with much anticipation. We are always thrilled to see how many females there are attending the schools in the areas we work. The nutritious lunch program covers aproximately 250 students, offering a very hearty and complete daily meal. Late 2021 we were able to get nine desk tops to Patahuasi, they are getting good use. We are still providing a computer tutor for this year to help them reclaim the loss of...

Mid March is the start of the 2021 school year. As last year didn’t happen at all for many of our rural students, we are hopeful that this year will be productive. The communities in the Ayacucho district started with virtual classes until mid April when they will start 3 days a week in person class. Fundacion Comunidad’s role is extremely important as we continue our focus on providing nutritional lunches. A hearty and tasty lunch is another reason to make the long trek to class,...

A unique comunidad visit

Posted December 20, 2019 @ 6:15pm | by Comunidad

A unique comunidad visitSince 1999, most of the Ebertz family has been involved with the Comunidad projects, in some fashion. Perhaps only as indirect donors being children of my siblings, or as in the case with my nephew Vince, it was his first non-profit donation he ever made at the young age of 18, he had inherited $1000 from a relative and turned around and donated half of it. It was time for them to have a personal connection with the community members while we could, the stars...
