Five EAGLE ROCK SCHOOL students and two teachers returned to San Andres in 2007 to work various projects. Russ, Marya, Jesse, Ben, Tahira, Peter, and Josh created a beautiful park along the beach with 2 bungalows, coconut trees, and a new basketball court. They also contructed a swing set and slide for the north school, a new cooking area for the north school, and taught classes in the north school. They also raised money to help our library, fix desks for schools, and plant fruit trees with local families. We hope to have them back in 2008!
