Before one of my previous visits to El Salvador, students at Virgen de La Paz in Tamanique and Centro Escolar San Patricio (see finished projects page) were asked to draw what they thought their new school buildings would look like. I was presented with the drawings upon my arrival at the schools and was somewhat fascinated by their very methodical and thoroughly detailed renderings. It seems fair to infer just from these drawings alone that many children helped by TLAU are very intelligent, focused, and talented, which is the main reason we provide high-school scholarships (see below). What a shame that many never have the opportunity to use their talents and minds to the fullest of their potential.
