Our new classroom is finally done! The ceramic tile floor was the last thing to be installed. It's now painted in (what else?) turquoise, seen everywhere in Nicaragua. The teachers and students were very happy to be able to hold the end-of-year graduation here.
For those of you who might not be aware of what we've been up to this
past year, these pictures are of a new double-sized classroom that we
had built for the town elementary school, San Francisco de Asis. We
began construction in February 2011, and although we didn't have all the
money we needed to finish the project at the time, the local people
told us that we should start anyway and it would work out somehow. And
they were right!
Thanks to everyone who helped make this classroom possible.
