Honduras: Great news, the builders have finished the work at the school!

The inauguration happened to be on July 8th with all inhabitants of the village, their major and lots of curious parents of children from the other villages around. Even if some difficulties showed up during the period of construction, the parents did not give up to continue the marvellous project, which should give their children new chances to attend in the future their classes in a clean and stable building.

Even the rainy season would not be a problem in the new classrooms in addition to hygienic and functional toilets, which did not exist before due to lack of money to build them. One should also reflect on, how much the problem of not having toilets would hinder sometimes parents from sending their children to school.

Another very important point is shoes or “flip-flops”. Still today some very poor parents cannot afford to buy shoes or even ” flip-flops” for their children, so walking around barefoot can have severe consequences, catching parasites from the ground through the feet, which might produce serious illnessess. At the end of the party, Happy Bambini was able to give 107 pairs of “flip flops” to the children.

Thanks to the local carpenters, there where also made wooden tables and chairs for the classrooms. Now the classrooms are complete and can be used also during the rainy season.

Therefore we thank everybody who trusted in our project and sustained us financially. We diffinetely hope to be able to build more schools in this way in the future. The next one should be in La Lagunas!
