The school is functioning every day with 25 children, who have a wonderful environment.  The bathroom is finally done with a functioning shower, which has been a struggle over the last year.  The school is decorated outside with beautiful paintings done by a local artist.  We are planning a community meeting next Tuesday to create and solidify our future plans and directions.  Currently we are in the planning phases of adult literacy classes with the local government due to their willingness to support financially a teacher weekly.
