The Best Hint I Have Ever Been Given
The best hint I have ever been given. One donor/volunteer tells of her experience.
Getting Their Hands Dirty!
Within the environmental education focus of Peru’s national curriculum, students explore Espacios de Vida (EsVi), or “living spaces.” Schools in the rural Amazon of Loreto—where CONAPAC works closely with communities—are no exception.
Today’s the day! It’s GivingTuesday!
Today on GivingTuesday and the whole rest of December, we hope you will donate to our Adopt-A-School program to help us provide school supplies to every child in our partner communities. Our end-of-year goal is $65,000, and we believe we can reach it with your help! (All donations are received by our partners, the Detroit Zoo; 100% of your donation is transferred directly to CONAPAC.) Every child deserves the opportunity to learn and succeed. Help us give them the tools they need.

What’s in an Adopt-A-School packet?
Each year, CONAPAC distributes school supplies to partner communities. Every child, teacher, and school receives supplies, timed for the start of the school year, to help lessen the financial burden on families and promote education in the community.
Annual Community Evaluations
Each year, the CONAPAC team visits every partner community together with specialists from the Board of Education both at the beginning of the school year when we do the school supply distributions and again during end-of-year evaluations in late October or early November. These visits are essential for understanding how students, teachers, and families are doing.

A New Experience at This Year’s Adopt-A-School
For a different twist on the Adopt-A-School experience, I brought my granddaughter this time, getting to see it through her eyes.
