Summary of project:
(aims, history, background, size and achievements)

Introduction:
The project is about a home/child minding centre in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Local children attend and are offered English classes as well as other extra curricular activities such as theatre, music and cultural studies. There is no cultural centre in Santa Cruz for underprivileged kids and the aim of these classes is to provide the children with a rich knowledge of their culture and enable them to demonstrate what they learn to others through performance.

They have a very poor library of about 100 books that the kids use to do homework and they have some stationery for the kids, have recorders and a keyboard for music classes. They celebrate birthday and Christmas parties for all the kids that attend to the centre, haircuts as well as encouragement and loving support that in a lot of cases they don't receive in their homes.

What kinds of children attend to the school?
Children of single parents living in absolute basic living conditions who are in real need of an escape from their ordinary lives in order to broaden their horizons and hopefully prevent the fall into the delinquency and ignorance that unfortunately becomes the reality for a lot of the ones who are brought up in these poor areas.

The number of kids and ages vary all the time since the kids do not need to apply to attend there, but there are normally around 40 kids from like 3 years old to 11.
