A New Garden for the Carbonera School!


In the environmental education class in the Carbonera School, we have started to grow are own garden filled with different types of organic produce such, cucumber, cilantro and fruits. Is has turned into a really great project; we can see that the children are really motivated and taking care of the different plants. Additionally, our staff (and the teacher!) have helped out a great deal, making this a real community effort. We are so excited and can’t wait to see our plants grow!

Donations to the schools!


This week we went to three different schools in the area: Bambu, Sandalo and Agujas. We gave them some supplies for the school such as books, notebooks, pencils, erasers, pencil sharpener, pens and more. The teachers and students were really excited because they didn’t expect our visit. We are so thankful with our guests for their school donations, because the schools in the area have low economic conditions and many families can’t buy enough supplies for the kids. This really is a help and blessing for the schools in the area. To all those who have helped us with our donations: thank you so much for your support! You are truly making a difference in the lives of hundreds of children!
