Peruvian Facts: History, Language and Culture

In Peru, it is polite to keep your hands (not the elbows) above the table.

Good manners include eating all the food that is provided.

Meals are considered leisure conversations, so it is important to talk during a meal.

Conversations with Peruvians take place at a closer distance than those with Westerners. Stepping back is disrespectful.

The traditional welcome in a Peruvian home is “Estas en tu Casa,” which translates to “You are in your house.” Refreshments are usually offered, though it is not impolite to decline them.

Peruvian Facts: History, Language and Culture

92.9% of the total population is literate 96.4% of males 89.4% of females(CIA’s definition of literacy: age 15 and over can read and write)

Average age to finish school: 14 years old for both males and females

***The school in Santa Cruz serves secondary students.***

Multi-Year PlanWe will assess needs for more classroom space and toilets, as well as other needs of the community during implementation of the distribution system.

If need exists and if the risk does not change, we will begin planning for second part of the project.

Maintain distribution system with community help feeding all control to them, but if they need help, still remaining in contact. Hopefully all needs will be able to be met by community members in this situation.

Plan of Action In Case of Emergency

1. Mild Cases: ex. Cuts, minor bruises Treated with a first-aid kit and team member with CPR/first-aid training.2. Severe Cases: ex. Any kind of emergency such as broken bones, tropical diseases. Go to nearest clinic or hospital qualified enough to treat the problem.3. Grave Cases: ex. Any kind of disease or

injury that cannot be treated at a local hospital.

Travel to a city hospital such as a hospital in Lima, Peru where

treatment might be available. If no treatment is available the individual must be transported back home.
