Aldea Yanapay Project

The Aldea Yanapay website states “another way of living.” For many of the children cared for by Aldea Yanapay, that means undoing the effects of abuse promulgated at home and even in schools, where a very casually applied corporal punishment has taught violence more than it has reading or math. Aldea Yanapay, an alternative school for children from the age of six to 14, is founded on the principles of love and acceptance. Aldea Yanapay is open to volunteers who want to help children with educational and development needs, as well as teaching English, or anything else related to the well-being of children. Volunteers are compensated with lodging and food, and of course, the smiles of children regaining their self-confidence.
