📚✨ We’re embarking on a new learning journey! ✨📚

On April 29, 2026, the new Community Education Program for the children of the Villa Belén settlement was launched amid great anticipation. Operation San Andrés’s motto is: “Where there is a community kitchen, an educational program and preventive health care must also be implemented.”

This new educational initiative is a space created to continue providing learning and development opportunities to more children from families in Collique’s 4th Zone, where 13 community kitchens operate, providing food to the children.

💙 We thank all the parents who are interested in their children receiving a well-rounded education, and together we will continue building a better future for children to overcome poverty.

✨ We continue to grow and reach more children in the communities!

Late last year, Operación San Andrés entered into a partnership with the Adventist Development and Relief Agency in Peru (ADRA) aimed at poverty relief. An initial achievement from this cooperative agreement came about a few weeks ago when ADRA-PERU donated three tons of yogurt to OSA. In turn, OSA delivered 288 units of yogurt to each of the 64 soup kitchens supported by Operación San Andrés. OSA has been providing non-perishable food items such as beans, rice, sugar, lentils, and cooking oil to many of these soup kithchens since the global pandemic of 2000.
