Project: "Los Huertos" of Huanchaco

We continue with another very ambitious and long-term project in "Los Huertos" (The Orchards) of Huanchaco. There we want to help improve the children's living conditions. As a starting point we begin with their nutrition and diet. We have an agreement from the Chair of UNESCO in the URL with the Blanquerna School of Nutrition with a volunteer program, for this summer, where 6 students with their professor Margarita Serra, will go in order to carry out a study of the zone. The children's nutritional as environmental problems will be studied so their necessities and deficiencies can be defined. The study also included the relatives of the children. A rigorous study of the zone will be made so the nutritional plan can be started, at the same time the students will carry out their work at the end of the study. The objective is none other than to educate the population nutritionally, facilitating for them the means necessary for securing their sustenance. With such poverty the education has to be very basic so they assimilate it and integrate it in their way of life. We will continue with the dining room, kitchen, place of refuge, workshop, library, the parochial church, a sport complex where the kids, together with their families form a part of the community and have the opportunity of being able to develop as people.
