A number of you have volunteered to send monetary donations or supplies for the kids we are sending to school and for other children to attend school; for this I say, "THANK YOU!" And, so do the kids. I wanted to let everyone know that we've visited the school the kids are attending, and we are expanding the project to include helping the school in various ways. My roommate, Shelly, who is in with me on this thing, has started a blog just for updating everyone on the kids. You can check it out at http://bellasninos.blogspot.com . Basically, the kids attend a two-room school, with two teachers and NO other staff. The kids clean the bathrooms. No meals are served, and there's not even drinking water available. Among possible projects we might embark on with the school are:
- Supplying drinking water
- Starting a breakfast/lunch program
- Providing P.E., Art, and/or Music Equipment
- Volunteering teaching time, and arranging for teachers from our school who want to volunteer to do so
- Starting a scholarship program for kids who can't afford to pay for school/clothes/supplies
For more information, check out the blog my roommate started! There's tons of information.
