The Mother to Mother program provides families with a day long experience of learning from not only CASP professionals but from parents such as themselves who have shared their same fears, hopes and dreams for their child’s future. Families attending this workshop learn about the power of having high expectations, treating their child as a person capable of becoming independent, productive and happy and the power of becoming a teacher as well as a parent for their child. The parent/child teams from CASP conducted demonstrations of successful teaching and learning between a parent and their child for the audience and participated in answering questions after the workshop. For the 9 mothers and 1 father, this experience of being part of a team, to share life experiences they have with their children and meet other parents of Peru this was an exciting and unforgettable experience.
CASP would like to also thank our facilitators in the 10 cities who have been very important to the organization and logistics for a successful day. These facilitators identified support of other organizations to donate a location for the workshop, sound equipment, projectors, advertised through local media and Internet, and organized accommodations, meals and local transportation for each team. This day truly would not have been possible without their support!
The 10 cities were chosen in partnership with the volunteer facilitators who made a commitment to organize the workshops. The cities were: Cusco, Sicuani, Arequipa, Tacna, Moquegua, Pucallpa , Moyobamba, Iquitos, Chiclayo and Sullana. For 1st time the workshops were held in the cities of Moyobamba and Sullana.
