PIP: EDAPROSPO, a Peruvian nongovernmental organization, in 1985-87, developed a health training program for students of 13 grammar schools in Huaycan, San Martin de Porres, and Comas. The principle aim of the program is to encourage and prepare children to be responsible for their health and environment, and to strengthen school health delegates and health teams. School health delegates are children selected by their classmates to work with teacher volunteers to form health teams. It is hoped that participants will spread the message to their families, friends, and neighbors. The project is being extended to other 10-14 year old students and community groups in the area. and with the support of the Ministry of Education, should reach 57 schools, 312 student delegates, and 3300 students. Activities will be expanded to include an evaluation of the main health problems in the community, the identification of vulnerable groups, and community leaders who are interested in supporting children in project activities. EDAPROSPO is also collaborating with ALTERNATIVA, a group working with children aged 3-6 years. Both groups are funded by Radda Barnen, a Swedish development agency.^ieng
