Living in Peru : your everyday companion

Aprendo Contigo

Aprendo Contigo is an educational/recreational based program that functions since the year 2000 at the Cancer Institute (INEN), since 2003 at the shelter for HIV positive children (La Posadita del Buen Pastor) and since January 2006 at the Center for Orthopaedic and Neurological Diseases (Hogar Clínica San Juan de Dios). You can visit our website:www.aprendocontigo.com (English Version)

Our fundamental objective is to create an environment of normalcy for the patient during hospitalization or treatment. They continue to have access to appropriate lesson plans, learning materials as well as continued creative development through various handcrafts, workshops and hobbies. From an emotional aspect we strive to not make their illness the center of their lives.

The program assists on a daily basis approximately 120 children hospitalized and close to 100 on a walk-in basis. Since its founding, in the year 2000, Aprendo Contigo has helped over 3,500 hospitalized and over 20,000 patients on a walk-in basis.

Aprendo Contigo would not be a viable enterprise without the invaluable contribution of the approximately 200 Educational Assistants, people of all ages, nationalities, and professional backgrounds. EA´s are responsible for the execution of the educational and recreational aspects of the program.

Aprendo Contigo does not receive any government support. Classroom maintenance is achieved completely via our Corporate Volunteers Program, our Christmas Campaign as well as voluntary cash donations and in-kind contributions from various companies as well as private citizens that truly believe in the work we do.
