Microchips and salsa

Just a quick post to update you on two bits of progress here at FairPlay. Thanks to a recent donation, we now have to brand new computers for our students and volunteers to use.

Perhaps more exciting than I.T. is the fact that the interviews for our first group of FairSalsa teachers have now finished, and the successful candidates began their training today. In four months time they will be fully fledged, hip-shaking dance teachers! More on that soon...

Hola y bienvenido!

Hello and welcome to the FairPlay blog. Over the coming weeks, we will begin using this blog to spread the word about the fantastic Spanish courses, volunteer placements and homestay opportunities that our organisation offers. We will be posting news about what is going on here in Cusco, and reporting on our efforts to raise funds for our latest project: the city's first daycare centre for mentally handicapped children. We will also be posting news about FairSalsa, the brilliant new dance school that will be opening its doors in September.

In the meantime, if you are coming to Cusco (whether to see Machu Picchu or otherwise) and would like to know what we can offer you, please click here. If you are interested in donating to the daycare centre, or in otherwise helping FairPlay's great work providing training to disadvantaged local people, please click here. If you are a former student or volunteer, we would love to hear from you, so please get in touch or join our Facebook group!
