Yesterday 3rd of May 2012, the final financial instalment of 290 Nuevo Soles (111US$) was contributed from the WAVES Centro de Surf and this in order to complete the construction of the temporary kindergarten classroom.

Their very own classroom

It was brought to our attention amongst the WAVES team from various educational stakeholders, that local education infrastructure had far exceeded capacity for the academic year and a new classroom had to be built for the children. Local parents organized themselves to raise funds and seek in kind donations that would advance the project. In the end, local parents, the Right Honourable Mayor of Lobitos Pepe Rodriguez and WAVES for Development all partnered up to turn this deficiency into a strength.

Ideally, to strengthen academic resources within the Lobitos education institution in the long term, a brick and mortar building should be built, but as we say in Lobitos ‘poco a poco’ (little by little).
