| We have been working since 2001 with WaWaWasi,
the national cresh program operated by the Ministry of Women,
Peru. Wawawasi provides an opportunity for the poorest weomen
to put their babies in care centres while they work. Through
our special relationship with the Wawawasi direction in our
home Provence we are able to conduct a pilot project aimed at
getting indigenous and very poor women to implement the M5M
method of intellectual stimulation. |

All babies are programmed to receive their first
intellectual stimulation from their own mothers. If
the mother does not giver it the baby does not get it.
We have found a way to get extremely poor indigenous
mothers, whose maternal tradition is to keep baby strapped
tightly to her back; unmoving, unquestioning until long
after it can walk it simply becomes too heavy to conveniently
carry - in this fun program these mothers are beginning
to stimulate their babies. Now we are working with leader
mothers who we hope will begin to recruit more mothers,
and so on. It's like a game, and the positive result
is that children who would have spent their early years
idly riding their mother`s back. They are now responding
to this stimuli and they will be joining society a lot
earlier than they would have done.
