Winter 2011 Peru Immersion Trip was a Great Success!

WGC executives Tere Dresner-Salinas and Lisa Uribe-Kozlovsky, and San Antonio NGO executive volunteer Zuani Villarreal traveled to Peru from November 28 to December 13, 2011. Once there, they met with Incarnate Word Missionary and WGC field staff member Kyle Seymour who completed their Immersion Trip Team.

The team's primary purpose was to continue the development and formalization of the women’s group Pushaq Warmi...

 

and also to continue general capacity building in the greater Chimbote area.

The team held many workshops:

• Strategic Planning
• Use of Logic Model
• Leadership
• Motivation
• Business Planning
• Computer Training

Over 200 women were trained in the various groups: Pushaq Warmi, Casa del Refugio, Sembrando Infancia, Cambio Puente, Oportunidades Ilimitadas…

They also participated in strategic meetings with leaders in the communities they served, as well as directors of organizations serving women’s groups and leaders of early childhood education schools.

Some of the meetings held were with:

• Corporacion Americana de Desarrollo (CAD) in Lima;
• Carlos Maraite of Cambio Puente Primary and Secondary School;
• Leading women from four different schools in Cambio Puente;
• Teachers and promotoras in Cambio Puente;
• Dr. Julia Hidalgo about Sembrando Infancia and WGC collaboration;
• Jorge Villar, Executive Director of Oportunidades Ilimitadas (micro-lending program);
• Yolanda Cadenillas leader of Pushaq Warmi;
• Dr. Rosa Cisneros – new leader of Casa del Refugio;
• Benjamin Aguilar Regalado, Coordinator of Technical Careers at Chimbote Opportunidades Ilimitadas...

The Immersion Trip volunteers thoroughly enjoyed their visits with women's businesses, the CCVI sisters, associates, and missionaries; and look forward to continuing these collaborations.
