UGEL, a Peruvian government organisation, invited Josie to teacha course on pre-school education in Ventanilla, Lima / Callao as she was well known for her work in nursery education there for the past ten years. The nine day course was very successful and focused on early education for children aged between 6 months and 6 years. Over 100 teachers (including Head Teachers) attended. Subjects covered included communication, creative play, stimulation and hygiene.

Josie encouraged the teachers to join in with creative play sessions

ISLA IQUITOS

CHRISTMAS CHOCOLATADA CAMPAIGN

Many thanks to everyone who donated to the Chocolatada campaign - these photos are from Isla Iquitos village where 60 children and their families took part in the Chocolatadas provided by the Hand in Hand Trust. Everyone enjoyed hot chocolate with panecotte and all the children received a present.

NURSERY UPDATE

Josie visited the nurseries while she was in Peru and reported back:

‘‘The nurseries are in great form with all the children very relaxed. The young people from England who came over in the summer did an amazing job in decorating the buildings with huge murals in happy colours both inside and outside.”

Dorothy, a trustee, and her daughter went with Josie to review the nurseries and they gave an excellent report. We now have 80 children receiving good nutrition, lots of fun and a stimulating start to education.

This page of photos shows the children learning to cut out and make their own pictures as part of creative play.


CARLOS’S NEW MOTORBIKE

Carlos now has a new motorbike thanks to fundraising efforts by Dorothy and her daughter. The bike is a Yamaha XTZ125 and will help him to travel between nurseries.

Carlos and Sula are learning to teach the nursery staff how, with good stimulation, the children learn though experience and in these early years do not need blackboard teaching.
