Now into the third month of 2015 and the children are slowly but surely getting used to their new education in the centralized school. We continue to fund daily transport to and from their mountain comunities by pick-up truck which allows them this education which otheriwse probably wouldn't have been possible, especially for the smaller children, due to having to walk miles each day. We continue to provide bread and fruit aswell. To counterract the possible confusion of the children being in bigger classrooms and new teachers we pay for our two local teachers who were once ex-students to give afternoon classes back in the communities; this way we hope that no child is left behind.
Our sustainable Plan Pollo (chickens and eggs) is coming along very well with first eggs due in a few weeks. The income from the egg sales will not only help sustain the daily costs of transporting the children to school it will also bring in much needed income and employment to the rural communities. It is hoped we will expand Plan Pollo over the coming months.
Thanks to all our donors who make this possible each day and have a great March
