Dear family and friends,
I will be traveling to Peru with Ingage Unlimited in the summer of 2024, along with a team of other passionate educators, to empower educators in extreme poverty.
Peru has a challenge to improve educational quality. By age ten, only 44% of the population can adequately read or understand simple text. Socioeconomic status largely defines what kind of educational experience students will have. While in Peru, our team will visit small towns in the Andes Mountains to provide training to Peruvian educators who rarely, if ever, receive professional development opportunities.
As a result of this trip, we are able to pass on skills and information that can continue to be utilized and passed to others in education despite the lack of resources.
Would you consider making a donation to support this work? Each team member is responsible for raising funds to cover the expenses that this service trip entails. Because this is a volunteer service trip facilitated by the non-profit organization INGAGE Unlimited, all contributions are 501(c)3 tax deductible donations, and they can be made online at http://ingageunlimited.org/donate. Just select my name in the Peru Team.
I am honored to have this opportunity to share my passion and experiences in education. I look forward to sharing our experiences with you. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions, comments, stories to share about an experience you’ve had, or words of encouragement.
With gratitude,
Rachel
