As part of our ongoing commitment to educational development, we initiated a campaign to donate basic backpacks filled with school supplies. Supporting children from the hillside communities in their primary and secondary education has been integral to our social mission since 2008. Our primary objective remains unchanged: to equip children attending state schools with the necessary tools for learning. Despite the challenges posed by organizing such an event in the current circumstances, our 2024 Annual Campaign for BACKPACK DONATION was successfully carried out.
This year, our Annual Backpack Campaign marked its 15th anniversary of aiding in the education of countless children from North Lima. Over the years, the President of RCF has had the privilege of visiting various locations in Northern Lima, with the assistance of coordinators from different shantytowns and "Glasses of Milk" programs situated in the highlands of Cerro La Milla and its surroundings. Dr. Rottkamp personally distributed these backpacks at the public school "José Carlos Mariátegui La Chira" Nº 3045.
The distribution of backpacks and supplies targeted children residing in settlements in the upper regions of Cerro La Milla and its environs. This distribution effort was coordinated in collaboration with the coordinators of the "Mujeres Emprendedoras" and "Santa Rosa II" Milk Cups programs.
