 Emails between the World School in Boston and ourselves are many as we plan for the August 9th arrival of 9 wonderfully generous members of the School...each carrying 4 large pieces of luggage full of donated computers and monitors.

They will install the computers, networked so a supervising adult can make sure they are only used for school work; provide computer training for Peer Leaders and the incoming Grade 7 students; as well as, conduct sports, fitness, ecology clinics for the children. 
The Roof is on



Contractor Don Lauro from Chuburna Puerto and a big supporter of our program, fit us into his busy schedule and is donating a portion of the labour costs.

Holes in the wall to anchor the cement shelf for 10 computers

the steel door, windows & protectors.

Charitable Donation Receipts will be provided by the World School, on our behalf, as they are a registered Charity.
