On Wednesday, November
29, the students of our
school participated in the
annual celebration of the
Boni Juancito Pinto, a govern-
ment-sponsored bonus given
to all Bolivian schoolchildren
through the eighth grade.
Each student received 200
Bolivianos ($25) in cash to
use toward educational ex-
penses. Children were ac-
companied by their parents,
siblings, and relatives on this
day and gathered in the
schoolyard to await their
bonuses. As we also started,
our inscriptions for the next
school year around that date,
we provided the opportunity
to use the money in the de-
sired way!
Proyecto Horizonte also
took advantage of the day to
promote various initiatives,
including the ongoing SODIS
project, outreach for adult
educational and development
opportunities, the artisan
handicraft of Tantakuna, and
general information regarding
the opportunities offered by
Proyecto Horizonte. More
than 500 students and rela-
tives in attendance learned
about all the programs
Proyecto Horizonte offers in
the community of Mineros
San Juan and many took steps
to participate in development
programs. A large satellite
map of the community was
available for residents to
mark their homes and sign up
for home visits from various
professionals to learn about
topics ranging from solar
water disinfection and baking
to financial management and
disease prevention. More
than fifty homes in the com-
munity were marked on this
day. In the following weeks,
psychological and nursing
interns began visiting the
interested community mem-
bers in their own homes to
discuss opportunities for
learning and development.
These door-to-door visits
will continue in 2011.

Proyecto Horizonte is financed mainly by donations. We guarantee effi-ciency and transparency in the use of funds and, if you desire, you can be-
come personally involved in the project’s activities. Our current organizational structure allows us to use almost 100% of dona-tions in the project. No administrative costs or other expenses will reduce your donation. All volunteers work for free both in and outside of Bolivia.
