A proud moment for Promesa Peru

We were recently invited to visit the offices of the Gerrencia Regional de Educacion (Regional Office of Education) which we did this morning, and while there met with Julio Enrique Vasquez Peralta, the Director of Education for the entire Lambayeque Region. He thanked us for our assistance to the schools and students in the poor areas, and encouraged us to continue with our efforts. He asked us to keep him informed of our activities, and also offered a ‘letter of introduction’ explaining who we are, what we do, and that we’re functioning with the knowledge of the Regional Office of Education. The letter will help us to smooth the way on those occasions when we need to deal with municipal authorities.

Praise is not what we’re about but it does feel good to know that the help we’re giving is recognized and appreciated. As always, thanks to our donors for providing the means to continue our work.
