Khuyay Waldorf School in Tarapoto

 We are glad that the new Waldorf school called Khuyay (love in the Quechua language) has just re-opened for the southern hemisphere school year in Tarapoto. a city in the northern jungle of Peru, after being largely closed down during the Covid crisis.  We have built an octagonal Kindergarten structure which I have helped to finish by installing two solar-powered fans in the roof to keep it cool, making wooden play blocks and a special cabinet for watercolor paintings to dry.  Right now we have five teachers and 38 children but more parents are applying so hopefully soon we will have more students.
