Honduras: El Palomar – Nov 2022 Update. English post.

The village of El Palomar is about a 2 hour drive west of the capital, Tegucigalpa. The village of El Palomar is very small, there are 250 inhabitants, 36 children who go to school. There is only 1 classroom, one teacher.

Unfortunately, there is no funding from the municipality to be able to buy new tables and chairs. The bathrooms are also in a very early condition and urgently need a renovation. Most of the furnishings date from 1986.

There is only one classroom where as many as 26 children follow the lessons and do the exercises according to their grade. Prof Marlin requested new chairs and tables for the youngsters. In addition, the window grilles were rusted and broken in several places, so that there was a risk of someone coming in at night and stealing the few things in the school.

In just two months, all the work was done and the school also received a new colour from outside.
