"Lo mas bello de la educación es el poder dar posibilidades."
“The most beautiful thing about teaching is the being able to give opportunities.”
Aldea Yanapay is a non-profit civil organization, founded by Yuri Valencia, with a great dream to build an alternative school, an eco-village, and an orphanage.
The first alternative school was founded in 2004.
By 2005,the school already had more than 160 children that came every afternoon to receive education, so Aldea Yanapay had to move to a bigger place.
At the end of 2005, the money that Yuri had saved was running out, so Yuri started to make artwork and cards to sell in order to make money to maintain the school.
That lasted a few months until he created the Hostal Magico where, if they want, volunteers can stay, paying for their room and board.
Now the Yanapay school is being maintained with that money.
At the beginning of 2006, Yuri created the Cafe Restaurant Aldea Yanapay which will fund the next project “The Yanapay Cultural Center,” opening in Lima in December.
