The School is a project of Saperoco. A Venezuelan traveling company of mimes, clowns and puppeteers that made its stage debut in November 1978.

The dream of the school came out from the summary of experiences of the group and its work in villages and cities across its native country, in Brazil and Central America where the problems and needs of young people of marginalized neighborhoods are very similar.

During 1999 Central America tour school proposal was well received in Granada and the project started in April 2001. We were able to reach our goal of attracting children from low-income families. The fact that absenteeism has been minimal indicated that we were on the right track and that we needed to not only continue our efforts, but indeed increase them.
