📋 Tender Overview
Yacu Samay is the proposal that seeks to capture the oxygen and hydrogen from the atmosphere to condense and bring drinking water to the native communitiesThe project seeks to reduce the index of children and adults affected by intestinal parasites caused by unrelated water consumption
In the modern classrooms of the Educational Institution, Fernando Carbajal, the first Bicentennial School inaugurated in the Peruvian Amazon, the ingenuity of a group of schoolchildren begins to flourish, who develop a project aimed at catching the hydrogen and oxygen of the atmosphere to condense it and turn it into drinking water destined for the consumption of the native communities settled in the water river basins.
The implementation of the innovative proposal Yacu Samay or spirit of water will demand the use of recycled materials, such as plastic bottles, wood, meshes and fabrics; And its main objective will be to reduce the indices of children and adults affected by intestinal parasites and other diseases caused by unrelated water consumption, says the leading student of the project, Jorge Granda.
We are surprised by all the equipment that our Bicentennial School has and we will take advantage of the laboratories. We are building rustic capacitors to catch the air of the air and store in containers of each home. Each villager will have the possibility of learning to catch water taking advantage of the humid climate of the jungle, says the student who will tempt this year to conquer a quota in the scholarship program 18.
The group of school researchers, made up of Jorge Granda, Victor Garcia, Itzel Abad, Melina Mashinguiashi, Cinthia Lopez and Lucila Vasquez, also dedicate time to the exploration of ancestral and modern technologies to capture the fog and dew the atmosphere in rudimentary boxes, by means of meshes and special fabrics. These surfaces catch the tiny drops that are then channeled and stored as water suitable for human consumption.
The schoolchildren, who a year ago received classes in precarious mats of mats with trunks that served as improvised seats, remind us that the transformation is born of commitment and empathy, and their project not only seeks to solve an urgent need, but also to return hope to the populations that live in the midst of deficiencies, but have faith in the better future thanks to education, highlights the director, Maria Aguilar Blas.
Infrastructure that motivates
The authority of the first Bicentennial School of the Amazon reported that this year its educational institution obtained important academic and sports achievements. The most prominent was the entry of 22 schoolchildren to prestigious universities through the Scholarship 18 program, a record at the level of the Ucayali region that obeys the motivation of the new infrastructure and the commitment assumed by schoolchildren, parents and teachers.
This new fully equipped infrastructure has even improved the mood of the entire educational community; the annual average was two or three scholarships, but now the motivation is so much that the fifth grade young people receive reinforcement at night and even on Saturdays and Sundays, and teachers are committed to improving the level of teaching and are also being trained, says the director.
Aguilar informed that this year the College improved the results in various competitions organized by the Ministry of Education (MINEDU), as in the reading comprehension competence El Peru Lee, the 2025 National School Floral Games, creates and undertakes 2025, and in the Sports and Paradeportos School and Paradeportos 2025, Macroregional Stage.
The Minister of Education, Morgan Quero, during the inauguration of the imposing work, said that the first Bicentennial School of the Amazon marks a milestone in the educational system, because it has an investment that exceeds 104 million soles and favors more than 1000 young people who benefit from modern classrooms, computer equipment and technical workshops.
The Government has invested more than 133 million soles in educational projects during this year in Ucayali, and that is reflected in the maintenance of educational institutions and improvements in universities in 2025, where we are moving forward in the closure of historical gaps in the region, said Quero.
He also said that the government has been strengthening teacher training. This year, around 4500 teachers from Ucayali participate in 10 training programs, a figure that represents more than double than in 2024.
