Rafa Lanfranco
Rafa Lanfranco donated his Wako designs to Wako Ayudando so students could turn them into something that helps families in Peru. We 3D print each Wako in our school’s robotics lab, then hand it to a member to paint. Some students go bold with stripes and color blocks, others paint animal prints, ice-cream drips, flowers or their own characters. No two Wakos are alike.

HOW WE MAKE IT
1. We 3D print Rafa’s Wako design in the St. George’s robotics lab.
2. Members learn painting techniques at our weekly meetings and workshops.
3. Each student designs and hand-paints their own Wako with acrylics and paint markers.
4. Finished Wakos are sold at school events, fairs and through our members.
WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES
100% of what we raise goes to Ayudando Abrigando (blankets, socks and ponchos for families in Peru’s cold mountain regions) and Casa Khuyana, Peru’s first pediatric hospice.
DONATION: $25 a $30 per Wako
