Almost a year ago, Father Keane inaugurated the fruits of phase one of our partnership with Centro Escolar San Jose la Labor in the department of San Vicente: three classrooms, bathrooms with sinks and flush toilets, and a small water tower. The improvements set the school well on its way to becoming adequate for the needs of its surrounding community.

However, during his visit, Father noticed that the school’s needs were still very great: many of the children of San Sebastian were unable to attend San Jose la Labor for lack of space. So last spring the TLAU officers made a decision, and as of October 1st, Walter has been “all systems GO” to get this project done honestly, efficiently, on time, and of course, under budget. Two classrooms, a small administrative office room, and a security door will be up in no time.

And special thanks to the Hirscher family of North Carolina for their generous donation towards the classrooms. Your patronage will not go unrewarded!
