PROJECT
– THE TOWN OF HUAROCONDO
As
you will see, there are too many projects to developed in Huarocondo,
each project is already organized (logistic) so we just need your
cooperation to make them happend.
FACILITY
#1: PRIMARY SCHOOL-#50108
1. Location:
This primary school is a government school called #50108. The school
has two sites. A few years ago, as part of Fujimori’s projects
of “Build a school per day” the government built a new
school, which is located in front of this facility, which was the
school before the new construction. However, this new school is
not big enough to hold all the children in the area and the town
is using the old school for 4th, 5th and 6th grades.
2.
Information about number of children/adults at facility:
360 children from 9-12 years olds
3.
Primary needs and type of activities we are planning (i.e. party
for kids, etc.).
The primary school has 9 rooms for classes, 2 bathrooms and a small
garden/patio. Their primary needs are:
A. ROOFS:
• Problem: Currently they have roofs but made of “Calamina”
sheets of galvanized steel commonly used in very poor constructions.
The problems with these sheets are that when it rains, the noise
of the rain hitting the roofs is very loud and children can’t
study. In addition to this, they are not that stable and sometimes
leaks can occur. Also, they do not insulate from the weather.
• Solution: We are planning the construction of roofs for
9 rooms.
B. DOORS:
• Problem: The doors at the school are very old, and most
of them are broken.
• Solution: Refurbish the doors of the school. They need to
be painted and fixed.
C. WINDOWS:
• Problem: Some of the windows of each class are broken, which
make the class really cold in winter
• Solution: Replace broken glass
D. PAINT:
• Problem: Most of the walls has been destroyed because of
the rain, also there are a lot of holes in the walls
• Solution: We are planning to paint the interior and exterior
of each class
E. DESKS:
• Problem: Currently, theses classes have desks designed for
4-6 year olds and kids of 9-12 use them.
• Solution: We will have 40 desks made for each class so kids
can seat comfortably in the right size desk. We have already contacted
a carpenter in Huarocondo, which can do these desks for us. The
volunteers will provide the finishing touches to these desks, as
they will need to be painted and finished.
F.
SHELVES AND CABINETS
• Problem:. There are not any shelves or any other place where
the children and the teachers can put away books or school supplies.
• Solution: We will have made 01 shelf and 01 cabinet for
each class.
G. BLACK BOARD
• Problem: The existing board is very old and misplaced very
low in the wall so the teacher has to almost kneel to write.
• Solution: We will make 01 board for each class.
H. GARDEN
• Problem: The interior garden looks terrible, and is dangerous
for the children because there are a lot of holes and bumps.
• Solution: We will clean the garden, pick up the garbage
and make the earth is flat (without bumps). The community will provide
us with flowers, dirt to plant a garden.
I.
TOILETS
• Problem: The women bathrooms do not have toilets. They only
have holes “cilos” which are built on the ground. These
cilos are very dirty and can be sources of contamination.
• Solution: We will buy and install 03 toilets in the women
bathroom.
J. WATER KEYS
• Problem: Thee children's bathrooms does not have any water
keys.
• Solution: We will buy and install 06 water keys in the bathrooms.
K.
SCHOOL SUPPLIES
• Problem: Most of the children do not have books, notebooks,
pencils, pens. They usually share a book with 4 or 5 kids, and most
of them use their older brother`s notebook, so they do not have
space to write.
Solution: We will buy books, notebooks, pens, pencils
for the children, so they can study in better conditions

#2: PARROQUIAL ALBERGUE (SHELTER) OF THE CHURCH OF HUAROCONDO
1.
Location:
The priest in charge of the Temple of Huarocondo has started to
build a shelter for small children that live far from the town and
therefore far from the school.
2. Information about number of children/adults at facility:
This Shelter is currently empty since it is not ready yet. It is
planned to host approximately 50 children.
3.
Primary needs and type of activities we are planning (i.e. party
for kids, etc.).
The shelter is not finished yet, there are 6 bedrooms, 01 big meeting
room, 01 kitchen and 03 restrooms. Their primary needs are:
These
children will normally have to walk 3-4 hours per day to go to school.
The idea is to build this shelter to provide these children with
a place to live from Monday to Friday so they can go to school during
the week. Most of these children live in the rural communities outside
Huarocondo. The shelter is located behind the Temple of Huarocondo.
Please see above address.
A.
MEETING ROOM
A.1. ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS
• Problem: They don not have any electric connections, so
they can not use the room late in the afternoon, evening.
• Solution: We are planning to install electric connections,
such as switches, outlets, pipes, fluorescent bulbs, and more.
A.2. CHAIRS
• Problem: This room has no furniture, so the people cannot
use this room. The idea was to use this room as a place where children
can play, study after school or do any afternoon activity.
• Solution: The director of the school is willing to donate
their old chairs to this project after replacing with new ones (as
mentioned before the ones they have are too small for children of
4th,5th and 6th grades). We will repair the school chairs so we
can use them here, since they are small chairs (for children 3 -6
years).
A.3. FURNITURE
(BLACK BOARD/SHELFS)
• Problem: We think they should have a cabinet where to store
materials such as games, school supplies for classes,etc. Also,
a blackboard would be useful

and 01 shelf and a board for this room, so they can use this room
as a class if its necessary.

FACILITY #3: MEDICAL CLINIC OF HUAROCONDO
1.
Describe the locations you plan to visit:
Huarocondo currently has a medical clinic that was built on top
of water springs. For this reason, the humidity and water have started
to get into the walls there is mold everywhere. We are in the process
of consulting with an expert (engineer) so we can determine if this
situation can be solved of if it is better to move the clinic.
2.
Information about number of children/adults at facility:
In this medical clinic is mainly an emergency room and walk ins
looking to consult with a doctor. Patients do not stay overnight
here, since there are no equipment, nor beds, nor stretchers. In
case of a real emergency such as surgery, they transport the patients
to the nearest hospital 45 minutes away. The clinic currently helps
about 20 patients per day.
3.
Primary needs and type of activities we are planning (i.e. party
for kids, etc.).
The clinic has 1 doctor, 1 nurse and 1 Midwife. It primarily serves
as an emergency room and primary care.
In addition to
the remodeling of the clinic, their primary need is help for the
seniors. They need help with specific prescriptions for mainly respiratory
problems.
