TEACH ENGLISH OR MUSIC TO OUR COMMUNITY FROM LAREDO

Location: Trujillo, Peru

Description

We are a new organization located in Laredo which is the capital city of Laredo district located about seven kilometers from Trujillo, in La Libertad, Peru. It has an estimated population of 30,000 people. A year ago we suffered floods and poverty because of El NiƱo and now we are barely recovering from this tragic episode. We promote development in the community, focussing on the education of under privileged children and teenagers. We provide free English, French,German and music workshops to our community.

we believe that the education in these areas are very important for the development of our community. through our workshops we are helping our new generation related to vagrancy , drugs , etc. At the heart of our organization is the philosophy that we all have our own personal limits, but when we work together to help others we can do so much more.
