Tiburon School

This is our small school in Tiburon.  It is half the size it should be and we really need to build another four classrooms so that we can accommodate more children. We guestimate that it would only cost $30,000 to accomplish this.

We're renting this small house for two classes.  It isn't too far from the school but it's cramped and noisy.

Road trip to Tiburon

Spent the better part of the day yesterday in our Toyota as we wanted to visit our school in Tiburon.  Three and a half hours getting there and four hours getting back.  It was well worth the trip.  The children and staff were happy to see us.  Tiburon is located on the western tip of the southern peninsula and is in need of help.  Thanks to Cross International our school is providing an education for almost 300 children who cannot afford schooling.  We have to work on getting them school benches as seeing small children carry their chairs/stools to school is a bit much.  We plan on providing a hot lunch program next year.

Pre-schoolers have class on the gallery as there's no room for them indoors.  They don't appear overly sad by that fact.

Thanks to a generous donation via Cross International, we have a new school to replace the two room shack that served as the school. Tiburon is located at the very western tip of Haiti's southern peninsula.
