More Good News - Thanks to Leirion's grand daughter, Leah Staschke, and her spanish club in Connecticut, bake sales were held to raise $1,000 to be used toward repairing bathroom plumbing at the Internado Boarding School on La Cachora Road for the young ranchero kids. Conditions in both girls' and boys' bathrooms were in terrible disrepair. Thanks to the Connecticut kids and plumber, Roberto Soto and his assistant, Jose Cruz Orosco, the kids will return this fall, to shiny, new, working fixtures and beautiful mirrors. They repaired several other major leaks at the school as well.
Enough money was left over to have Sr. Castillo and his crew replace 17 dangerously broken (or missing) windows near the kids' bunk beds. Leave it to children to know how to connect in such a meaningful way. Professor Oscar Rudolpho plans a letter-writing project between the kids this fall. They will soon be sent a "before and after" photo documentation, along with a short photo essay of the school and our town. - Judy Tegland, purplepapagayo[-at-]yahoo.com, 145-0708
