As part of his diplomatic trip, U.S. congressman Christopher
Smith visited the Ann Sullivan Center of Peru May 14, sharing touching moments
with the students, their parents and the staff of our institution, who showed
the value and potential of CASP’s educational model.
The congressman toured CASP’s facilities with Dr. Rosa Oyama,
General Director of Programs for Students, Family and Professionals at the
center. Congressman Smith acquired an appreciation of the work done with
students and the different programs, especially the work training of La
Solución laundromat and the Project iPad classes of the younger students.
Furthermore, the congressman took the opportunity to hear life testimonies from
students in the Supported Employment Program and their parents.
The Ann Sullivan Center of Peru is grateful for the
congressman and his staff’s visit and for the interest they have shown in the
work the center has been doing for 35 years with the education of people with
different abilities in Peru and throughout the world.
