Soccer game

On June 14 for the 79 anniversary of the village of Llanchama in Iquitos, Peru, the students and the professors of the school were involved in all kind of activities. From the rise of the Peruvian flag, early in the morning, to the soccer games in the afternoon, they invited the population of Llanchama to attend different type of entertainment for the day. We were very active in the morning, accompanying the leaders of this poor remote village in all the activities.

Persons from all the age groups participated in the events with much determination in order to make the celebration a success.

79 years since this village exists. However up to the present time, there is no electricity, no running and clean water, no latrines system, no land lines phone there. Beside that, the quality of the road that leads to the village is extremely bad.

The people were very happy to celebrate that day. They were dancing, singing, playing and drinking their prefered beers: Pilsen, Iquiteña(from Iquitos), Cusqueña( from Cusco). Those kind of activities always carry joy to the people and can prevent them from keeping thinking(at least for one day) of all the difficulties to which their lives are hung.
