As you vigilant TLAU news-feed readers already know, we recently built three new classrooms at Nuestra Señora del Refugio in the department of Ahuachapan. Because our projects are swiftly completed with the utmost care, schools usually follow up with a few extra requests (it never hurts to ask). This school has made known to us a pressing need for 100 student desks and chairs, called “pupitres.” The cost of a desk and chair is $35, which is basically seven times the daily wage in El Salvador, making them completely unaffordable on the school’s part. Please consider donating for one, two, ten, or more sets of desks and chairs and we will gladly purchase them in honor of or in memory of a loved one of yours. If you donate on-line please put in the comment block that you would like to provide for x number of pupitres and in honor of whom. If you donate by mail, please write in the check memo pupitres and for whom. If you give us their address we will mail a letter saying that school desks have been donated by you in their name. This is only one of many schools that needs desks and chairs so please don’t wait for someone else to answer the call!
