We are currently sponsoring the university education of eleven youngsters from families living under marginal economic conditions from the settlement of Mineros San Juan Ushpa-Ushpa near Cochabamba. Subjects currently being studied are: Nutrition, Dentistry, Business Administration, Electrical Engineering, Customs Administration, Business Studies, Car Mechanics, Finance, Engineering and Medicine.  We were previously also able to provide the money which allowed the local health care centre to remain open and expand. We were also able to finance the construction of one school building and the completion of another. In 2025 we paid for new toilets in a school in Sacabamba, through our contacts at Ushpa Ushpa.
