Peruvian students Paul Callupe Correa (14), Jairo Landeo Panduro (15) and Yorch Sanchez Campos (13) won second place (silver medal) at the international science fair named “International Sustainable World”, held in the United States.
They were honored yesterday by The Regional Government of Junin and Chinalco mining company.
The Jorge Chavez school's students (Carhuamayo) received lap tops and were officially congratulated for their participation with a project called “Ichu: potencial de revegetacion en los Andes”(Ichu: possibility of replanting in the Andes).
The ichu is a Peruvian pasture that grows in the Andes.
“It do congratulate these young students and their teacher of this project; they are pride of the region and the country,” Junin Governor Vladimiro Huaroc said.
This international science fair reunited contestants from more than 60 countries.

Very well done to these kids!!!
Just the type of re-assurance other kids in this country need, to think our of the square, and come with a solution to a problem.
Very well done indeed.
