The NGO Asociación Atocongo has agreed to fund the teaching of the Performing Arts in a primary school in Villa Maria del Triunfo.
Despite this being in only 1 of 158 schools in the area, this is a MAJOR ACHIEVEMENT as there isn't a single state school in the District (and possibly in the whole of Peru) that does this.
A Theatrical Workshop, taught by Prof. Fernando Flores, has existed in 5 schools in the District for 4 years.
