September
The
Gap Year option at Bruce Peru - Many
students take a year off between college and university (high school
and university) to learn
something of the world and practice their intended profession in the
field. At
Bruce Peru we have developed a GAP YEAR program for adventuresome
students who want to make the most of their year away from school
- it is intensive, hands-on, rewarding, fun and affordable.

"New Shoes
for Bare feet"

In
July we announced a contest to give new childrens' shoes to the
mothers club in Trujillo which first registered 100 school age children

of mothers clubs to help in our
project

This
month we joined the ballet company we helped start on our campus two
years ago in their last joint performance.
The talented "Ballet de Camera Vision de la Danza"
have gone from strength to strength the past two years, and now they
can afford their own studio off-campus. We wish them continued success
in all their future endeavors. |
