BackPacks & Uniforms..School: Here We Come

Two weeks before school started Beverly, Dorothy, Rosy and Sherry filled 74  back packs...  With mariachi music in the background, the supplies were laid out so we could swiftly fill each backpack according to the school lists.

The Final Step:  Proud in their uniforms with backpacks for photographer Sonia.                                                                                                                            

Sponsors will receive student photos, scans of the original letters and translated copies within the next 2 weeks. 


The students are as interested in you as you are in them.. So if you want to do so, we will always pass along photos and letters from you to share with your students.

Dr. Seuss.

 Thanks for all you do to make it better for the students of Chuburna Puerto!
