Culture
A specific project, called Music In the Andes, is based out of the San Luis School in the village of Maras. In 2014, they initiated a music project at the San Luis Gonzaga School in Maras in the Cusco area, in cooperation with the professional local artist Narciso Choque. Children attending this school have low economical resources. The children's parents of the school work mainly in agriculture. During the music classes, the children are taught all the disciplines of music and art. With this project, the children are supported in developing their talents and creativity. Learning to create and appreciate music and art is very important to the development of children as they grow up.
