The eleven high school students are doing well.  The 7th graders had to purchase their own desk and will leave it there after they finish school.  They have been taking tests the last two week-ends.  We have been working with the teacher at Ocotal.  We are providing hot meals to the children once a week and we are now providing bottled water. Some of the children have been raising  tomato plants. We are hoping to raise enough money to be able to do some repairs on the school.  Some of the ceiling tiles are gone, there are big pieces of cement out of the floor as well as other structure needs.  The teacher said he would like to have some more bars put up and screen on the big classroom in order to keep people from breaking in the school.  We are providing him with vitamins for the children as well as tooth brushes and tooth paste and school supplies.  We are hoping to get 6 new desks as some of the children do not have a desk.  He is teaching 49 students in 6 different grades.  We are hoping to get the repair work done and the rooms painted in the next couple of months. 

just completed the roof.  will add doors and electric in the next week or so.  Thanks to you who have made it possible.
