This week we started, or rather, resumed the classes out in the fundo, or out where they work the fields for DanPer. Last fall the interns started up the class in the fundo for the first time, and we set up individual appointments to help them develop their business plans next week. The class is very small, with five or six people, so we will be able to meet with them all individually next Friday out in a region nearer to them. 
We paid a visit to the Academia. They received money to do construction so that they can upgrade the after school program into a grade school. When we visited we saw a lot of students having a great time. In front they have a big pile of rocks which they use as part of the construction needed. They also have a bunch of cement bags for the construction. It is really exciting that they've had enough success to make this their own school which will teach about 35 students.. This will help the owners as well as the many students. 
We are having the students from the plant come to our office individually to work on their business plans. We spend an hour with each person and are able to teach exactly what they need. It is also a good opportunity to look at the details. With this we are able to advance with more ease.We spent some time on Saturday at the beach in Huanchaco. An excellent aspect of this program is having weekends off, and having the time and resources to do some traveling on the side. It is definitely necessary to take a break after a long week's workload.
