Kiya SurvivorsKiya Survivors is a charity that supports over 100 special needs children who have su!ered "o# abuse and neglect in di!erent areas of Peru and o!ers these children the education, love and suppor$ they need and deserve. For more information, visit their website at www.kiyasurvivors.org .
Team Peru is a service!learning programme, of
Copenhagen International School, which works in partnership with UK!based Kiya Survivors, in supporting educational centres for special needs, abused and abandoned Peruvian children.
As a service!learning programme, Team Peru seeks to combine "service# and "learning# to cultivate civic responsibility and strengthen our global community. Team Peru aims to enhance the learning experience of each student by learning, doing and re$ecting, while directly addressing and advancing the needs of these Peruvian children through service.
Team Peru achieves its mission through practice, education and support.
PracticeSince 2005, Team Peru has been administered as an extracurricular programme—Team Peru DK—at Copenhagen International School, whose purpose is to help abused and abandoned children in Peru. Every two years, a team of students from grades 9, 10 and 11, are chosen through a competitive process, to travel to Peru to provide hands!on service to one of the three Centres supported by the programme.
“It is so easy to
live in ignorance of
the world’s
problems, because
for most people
they are so far
away. Seeing the
happiness and
appreciation in the
children ...opened
my eyes to one
simple
fact...people like
me can make a
di!erence in
someone else’s
life”

Team Peru Education in Action
EducationIntegrating service!learning at all levels in a student#s educational cycle is paramount. Team Peru works with the Primary and Middle Years programmes, at Copenhagen International School, to foster a sense of civic mindedness and build awareness of their place in the global community.
One way in which service learning is integrated is through Motionsdag. Every October, students of Copenhagen International School take to the woods and the streets to raise money for the Centres supported by Team Peru and Kiya Survivors. Students secure sponsors for various physical challenges and donate the funds raised to Kiya Survivors. The students learn that their action, no matter how big or small, has a direct and signi%cant impact on these children.
SupportSponsorship is the most e&ective way of supporting the work of Team Peru and Kiya Survivors. A regular gift 'given monthly, quarterly or annually( enables the organisations to continue to provide seamless love, education and therapy the children of Rainbow Center and Mama Cocha need. In addition to sponsorship, Team Peru raises money for the Centres by organising several annual fundraisers, within the greater Copenhagen community. In April of 2009, Team Peru showcased the World Premiere of The Next Explorers, at the Danish Film Institute. The Next Explorers is a documentary detailing the inspirational purpose and journey of Team Peru.
All funds raised through sponsorships, events or independent donations directly bene%t the children served by Team Peru and Kiya Survivors.

The Centres
Originally funded by the Team Peru DK 2008, Mama Cocha Children#s Home is
home to nine children who were in great need of shelter. Team Peru helps fund the
di&erent costs of the Centre to ensure that these children receive the love and support they deserve. Because of Team Peru#s help,
these children now have a safe and loving environment in which to live.
Team Peru DK 2006 originally funded the Rainbow House, where seven special
children now reside, all of whom have had to be removed from their homes because
of abandonment, abuse and neglect.
The Rainbow Centre provides daytime care to special needs children, ensuring
they receive a proper education and necessary therapies. Team Peru DK does
project work when in Peru, to support the needs of the Centre.
Jose Antonio
Jose Antonio spent most of his life lying on the $oor of a small, dark shack. He su&ers from Cerebral Palsy and had never before received any medical attention. He now lives in Mama Cocha Children#s Home and receives the attention he deserves.
!
Maria
When Maria was found by Kiya Survivors at age 21, she had su&ered severe neglect and had been locked away for years. Due to stress and trauma, she had pulled out her hair and did not recognize her re$ection in a mirror. Kiya Survivors# help and support has meant she is on the journey towards a better life by means of therapy, education, food and love.
