Enhance the infrastructure of the Divine Mercy National Institute of Jiñocuao
This project aims to develop the artistic capacities of children, youth, and adults in San Ramon while promoting and reclaiming indigenous knowledge and cultural identity.
Students and families have been involved in the work of re-flooring, painting, and decorating the classrooms to create an environment that contributes to raising the learning levels of the students who are participating in the project.
Schools involve themselves in the art classes with students from San Ramon, taking part in artistic creation through visual arts, music, and dance. Students also take part in classes and games with younger children at the school. Apart from the art classes, students visit the cooperatives which have been incubated by CPC, such as a jewellery making and recycled paper cooperative.
These projects make all the difference
in the lives of their members. Their commitment to work together to improve conditions and possibilities for today and the future is inspiring.
As part of the project, families will be organized into working groups and construction workers in pairs will be organized to glue the floor. As a result, three large classrooms and one small classroom will be repainted in coordination with each other. Parents will assist the construction workers in laying down the ceramic tiles. As part of the effort to improve the classroom environment, teachers from both the daily classes and the distance learning program will be involved. The students will be divided into groups and they will also be involved in the renovation of the classrooms.
This is a continuation of the project funded by OECTA , when two other classrooms were refurbished.
During the efforts to improve the classroom environment, teachers from both daily classes and distance learning programs will be involved. The students will be divided into groups and involved in the renovation of the classrooms.
Several students, one of whom being Cristel Morales says:
“Now we feel motivated to study more. We thank you all for your generosity”.
“Thank you, Casa – Pueblito, for providing us with classrooms with dignity. Now we have painted walls and beautiful ceramic floors where before there were holes in the dirty floors.”
