Honduras: Peña Blanca – June 2023 (EN)

The village of Peña Blanca has a population of 270 people and the José Cecilio del Valle school currently has an enrollment of 60 students distributed in the 6 grades from first to sixth grade, a total of 28 girls and 32 boys.

The school had contacted us late 2022 with a request for new tables and chairs for the school children. Most of the tables were broken and the chairs unusable.

Thanks to the good organization of teacher Xiomara Flores, she able to find a good local carpenter who arranged for 18 tables and 36 chairs to be built in his carpentry shop.

Since the work was skillfully and diligently done, we decided to support them a second time with the reconstruction of the small wooden kitchen, which now had stability problems.

The new kitchen is now made of brick, in the size of 4×4 mt. Here, too, the work was carried out with good management. The stove is already ready, and the first snacks have already been cooked. Good Work and thanks for the good cooperation, Mrs. Xiomara
