All is well

What a pleasure to be working with these Peruvian students.  They are all very creative and keen to learn about woodcarving.  Tomorrow we are going to explore wood decoration including how to apply gold leaf as part of an overall design.
Yesterday's rather chaotic beginning has all been resolved and today our two hour class flew by without problems.  I feel grateful to be working within this new school which is not only providing a quality humanitarian education for local children but is also serving as a pilot project by way of practical example that there are alternatives  to standard-issue state schools.  We have the approval of the Peruvian ministry of education and the support of UNESCO.
