Honduras: new school in La Lagunas

A small community , called LAGUNAS in Honduras, didn’t have any school at all until recently. The inhabitants of this little village, knowing very well the importance of having education for their children, at a certain point built some poles to sustain a little roof of wood, where their children could attent school-lessons, sitting on the ground without even chairs, tables or a blackboard.

Mr. Jorge, a local collaborator, contacted us to explain their desperate situation, asking for help in constructing a little school-building, where children could study as well during the heavy rainy seasons.

The group of “Happy Bambini” decided to intervene in this village. With the help of the parents and some local builders, a real school of brick-walls and a tin-roof was constructed. Now children study sitting on chairs at tables and follow notes on a blackboard. There are also 2 toilettes for girls and boys

In 2016 there were heavy rainfalls which delayed the construction, but since February 2017 the children enjoy their new building.

On the 28 April, the school has been officially inaugurated by the local mayor.!

So we want to thank everybody, who has helped us to realize this project!
