School Project 2004

 

 
The largest school in San Andres is the Escuela Norte, which has an attendance of over 300 students.  It is an elementary public school that teaches grades 1-6.  The school lacks a number of resources including a water deposit system, library, playground, proper bathroom facilities, desks, whiteboards, and larger classroom facilities (Currently there are between 60-80 students in each classroom). 

 

Thanks to generous donations from the Family and Friends of Volunteer Summer Kartchner ($950), we started construction of the fence in August 2004.

In October 2004, The late mayor of San Andres, Cruz Uldarico Chata Manzanero, donated over $1,000 worth of materials to finish the fence for the Escuela Norte.  We are now looking for donations to help pay for the final touches on the fence, and an inauguration ceremony for the fence recognizing the donors and especially the late mayor of San Andres.
