The Ayacucho High School

Phase I of the building of the new high school in Ayacucho Village was completed (Oct. 2019) The campus consists of two buildings and a boy’s and girl’s bathroom. Each classroom was equipped with desks, and bookshelves. NBHF thanks Bailey Ahn and Makysm Taran for raising $16,000, the money needed to fund the project. Lucinda Peralta, NBHF Director of Peruvian Projects managed the project with Dustin Pinedo Gonzales. Due to their organized effort, there was enough money left from the school project to repair a community home that will be used as a home for the new high school teachers.
