The Centre has been backed by the Carmelite parish priest of the local church who, since its establishment, has collaborated with the implementation of cultural activities. The presence of the institution has reached 18 towns in the district, apart from actions in Cañete, Chincha and Lima.

 

An audio-visual workshop was implemented between the years 2007-2008 with young people from the last year of the local secondary schools. The material gathered in such experience allowed to produce a documentary called “Hatajos de Negritos de El Carmen” (CCA San Daniel Comboni, 2009).
