CECA

For almost 100 years AWLC has assisted organizations that emphasize education and literacy in Peru. Our continued goal is to partner with organizations that successfully promote literacy and reading and to encourage members to submit or sponsor proposals for grants when funds become available. Funding of these grants is provided by CECA, the Committee for Education and Community Action. CECA is traditionally funded by Cookbook sales and Noche de Música y Arte. Due to COVID-19 we have focused on virtual fundraising events such as Octobre Cultural in 2020.
