Becoming Self-Sufficient
Robin Hood is in its first steps of being self-sufficient. Hispanica Spanish School is a partnership between Magda Metwally and 2 of her friends. The language school targets tourists who want to learn Spanish in Mancora, will donate 30% of all profit to our Robin Hood Project. This will hopefully not only allow for the continuity of Robin Hood in Máncora but the expansion of similar Robin Hood Projects across the world. http://www.hispanicaspanishschool.com/

What makes us different?
• 50% of Robin Hood is privately funded by myself, Magda Metwally to ensure that the objectives are not compromised, that costs are controlled and it allows for no mismanagement of funds.
• Our teachers and coordinators are all Peruvian.
• No non-Peruvian staff is paid for their work. No funds are used on any non-Peruvian staff expenses, including travel.
About Máncora
Once one of Peru’s most important fishing communities, the town has faced economic hardship in the last 15 years, in part associated with the collapse of the fish stocks. On the positive side, Máncora and the surrounding region have more recently begun to benefit from the rise of tourism, as the area is blessed with a spectacular beach and one of the best surfing spots in South America.
