New School for Los Arcos : We Need Your Help!
Los Arcos is a village at the end of the mountain road. The children currently study outside, but now the rains have started. They desperately need of a classroom and we can build one for $4800, but need your help. The municipality will donate some materials, and we will get a great deal from the lumber yard and the engineer from World Vision will help us for free. Labor will be provided by the villagers.
