Tiburcio Martinez School in Monteverde

Monteverde is a community whose population lives in state of extreme poverty. It is a community of 180 families, with approximately 450 children. We began a school with hopes of providing an education, so that these children have the opportunity to better their lives.
This project is in its first phase. It began in 1999 with the registration of 68 children. At the moment, we have 270 children registered in our school.

The second phase of this project is:
To develop and purchase high quality materials for all of the classes
To provide adult literacy classes in the evenings Monday to Friday, and during the day on Saturdays and Sundays.
To create a computer lab, so that the children who graduate from elementary school will be familiar with this tool and learn how to use Microsoft Office.
To hire four additional teachers
To enlarge the school and to build four new classrooms
To finish the construction of the bathrooms
To build wall around the outside of the school
