Day tour “Pai Pukú”
On this tour we visit the city of Villa Hayes and the Pa’i Puku school. This school is a comprehensive training center, which gives the children from the Chaco the opportunity to learn and live here because the distances in the Chaco are great, so that they cannot come and go every day. In addition to traditional training, they also receive training in various professional fields. The center also has an orchard and some livestock for their livelihood.

The María Medianera Comprehensive Training Center, better known as the Pai Puku School in Chaco, is unique in its kind. Since June 1965 it has been on km 156 of the Transchaco route in the Benjamin Aceval district in the department Pdte Hayes in operation. It offers full education to low-income students. Of the 550 students and 60 teachers, almost 90 percent live there thanks to their self-administration during the school year. Their mission is to contribute to strengthening educational work, human and Christian support. It covers an area of six hectares and its large complex is made of materials from Chaco, such as karanday and palm trees. The center was “baptized” by the residents as the “Pai Puku School” in honor of its founder, the Belgian priest Pedro Shaw.
