“We have a dream,” said the teachers last year at PRITE Huancayo, an early intervention program high in the Andes mountains for children from birth to age three. Their dream was to serve their students a snack every day. They told us all their reasons for giving the children a snack – language development, social interaction, turntaking skills, sharing, making choices, learning use of utensils, and of course nutrition – the same reasons I always gave my students snacks. So we spent the rest of the day shopping, going from small store to small store for several hours, and bought a microwave, a blender, thermoses, plates, cups, bowls, plasticware, a dishpan, and a drainer.
And this year they received a refrigerator.
We weren’t able to go to Peru this year, for several reasons. But we were able to send some money to the schools. And the amazing, dedicated teachers of PRITE Huancayo have a refrigerator now and can expand the variety of snacks they’re able to serve their precious students.
Muchas gracias, Amigos
