The working children in the School “Jorge Castilla Montero – 2039″ in the sector of El Ermitaño, close to their tutor, teacher Julia Campos, enjoyed a full day of fun. The event included a childlike show, different games, great food and chocolates. Of course, each one of them received gifts such as soccer balls and different board games. At the end of the day, we all were rewarded with the large SMILES on the faces of the kids.
In the district of San Martin de Porres, with the help of the Office of Education, Culture and Sports, Rottkamp Charitable Foundation delivered more backpacks to children in 2 different schools.
With all these Christmas celebrations, loaded with positive emotions and happiness, all the children and adults contributed to the success of this campaign. We generated alliances with other Institutions to share the responsibility of improving the life of children and adolescents throughout Peru.
As it would not be otherwise, December is a month full of activities for children around the world. Christmas is an important holiday in the life of Peruvian families, full of traditions and also generating special dreams and expectations in the minds of children.
