Many of our friends at GlobalGiving are aware that a month after Hurricanes Irma and María, our students decided on an assembly to work providing services to the community, fundamentally cleaning areas devastated by the hurricanes, and offering hot food for the nearby communities. In the collection of waste, tree trunks that had been uprooted by the strong winds were recovered: these trees were turned into work tables, where our young people study to build day by day the future they dream; They share dreams of building a stronger, fairer and more supportive Puerto Rico. Today, 5 years later, we are in the last phase of the embellishment of the 3 buildings that make up the center of Caguas: the “amor” building, the “libertad” building and the recently completed “patria”.
Increasingly, it happens that families arrives at Nuestra Escuela looking for a way out of the difficult circumstances they live in; every time a visit gets to know of our work; Each time a staff member joins to serve with us, the reaction is the same “This is beautiful”. Thanks to the support of each of you, we continue to build the school we dreamt of. The mission of love of Nuestra Escuela is fulfilled every time a young person finds himself in a safe, clean and comfortable space; every time a child can grow in a space of love, where their growth and learning rhythm is respected.
Our most recent achievement was to enable the Patria building to accommodate students in larger and more beautiful classrooms. With this we completed an important phase, the fourth of 5 total phases. Now we can continue to dream of a green terrace, a playground and a cinema under the stars.
Nuestra Escuela exists so that those who grew up in vulnerable situations can rebuild their spirit and become the person they dreamt of. Being part of GlobalGiving means a lot to each of the lives that are transformed here. It has been a gateway towards quality of life and common well-being.We know that the dreams of the fifth phase will be together with each and every one of you who have supported us so much.
