The school in Tierra Linda can now face the wet season without fear!
Due to a very generous donation we have been able to put new aluminium roofing on the remaining old classrooms. We have put false ceilings in to protect the children from the heat and also to insulate against the noise when it is raining.
The floor has been tiled in the new kitchen and the counter tops including the stove area have all been tiled to make keeping the area clean much, much easier.
The old roofing was full of holes and there were many, many leaks that made the classrooms miserable in the wet season.
Thank you to everyone who has donated to greatly improve the conditions of this school. This school has gone from being one of the worst looking schools to one that the community is now very proud.!

I love reading about the updates to the schools. I know it is important to sponsor the children to go to school, but they need a good place to learn, that isn’t wet in the rainy season, that has chairs and desks for everyone, books, a board for the teacher to write on, art supplies, etc. It seems without funding the school itself, the increase in education is still stunted. The Construction, General School and School Sponsorship programs all go hand-in-hand in providing the area children the ability to further their education. Can you tell me what comperable general improvements are needed at the San Jorge school? It would be great is there could be a list somewhere that tells donors the specific needs of each school and the estimated costs. Thanks!
