Isabel Guerra
Czech top model Petra Nemcova, President of Happy Hearts Foundation, inaugurated six new schools in some of the Ica communities that were affected by 2007's earthquake.
The schools have been built in coordination with Peruvian Fund Pension Administrator (AFP) Integra.
"The first time I arrived in the disaster area was in January 2008, and my heart broke when I saw what happened and how children were living. We went back three months later, and we signed this agreement with Integra, which also includes the installation of computers through an agreement with IBM, "said the Czech model.
She said that their idea is to introduce children into the business world, so that they can have a sustainable support in the future.
"This model of social assistance is being applied not only in Peru but also in Mexico and Indonesia," she said.
