Subject: School in Jutigalpa
Message:
I just returned from Roatan and had a chanceto visit Escuela Juan Lindo
in Jutigalpa a small village just before Oakridge. Danny from Dockside
lives there and his wife volunteers at the school.

The road to the community is dirt ( mud at this time of year) and
extremely difficult to find. There is no work for the folks who live
there and conditions are not getting better any time soon.

The school itself is onlytwo rooms and has 120 students K-6. They also
have a pre school. There are only three teachers and Danny's wife who
helps out.

Of all my travels on the Island, this school needs the most help. The
roof leaks, they have no fans, no supplies, few school books and I saw no
library books. Theyget hardly any assistance from the government and were
so appreciative of the few pencils I gave them.

So, if you are on your way to CCV, please stop by the dollar store and
just get a few supplies. Here is the linkwith some pictures and a wish
list.

Thank you all so much for your past support, we are making a difference
for the children of the Island.

Timmer,

Thank you for your post.  I sent you the instructions by email. The supplies mean so much to the children of this small school that has been forgotten.
