We’re delighted to announce that our Tonameca Earthquake Relief Program is now complete! Thanks to the support, dedication and commitment of our partners and donors, volunteers, staff, local workers and the local community, Santa Maria de Tonameca now has two new, disaster-resilient school campuses.
At Vicente Guerrero Primary School, we demolished four unsafe temporary structures; rebuilt, retrofitted and refurbished ten classrooms; rebuilt the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WaSH) facilities; refurbished a storage room and built a new roof for the dining room. We also implemented a new drainage system for the school At Paulo Freire Secondary School, our work included demolition of three unsafe buildings, rebuilding the office and WaSH, retrofitting and refurbishing three classrooms and building a new roof for the dining room. All of these important infrastructure improvements mean that more than 200 students can now return to their regular classes in a safe learning environment.
We are also happy to share that our team has already made preparations to begin working on our next “phase” in Mexico in the municipality of San Lorenzo Albarradas. For this next phase, our staff and volunteers will be rebuilding Guillermo Prieto Elementary School. Our volunteers are set to arrive in just a couple of weeks to get started on this exciting new project!
Thank you again for your support of our efforts, and we look forward to updating you again soon!
