New School Plans

Exciting news for the Talanga campus. As many may know, the Talanga campus will be starting their own school around February of 2011. This is a huge blessing as it will allow teachers to focus on the specific needs of the children, something their current teachers are unable to do. Speaking of teachers, the first three teachers are going to be Rita, Maribel, and Maricela! What a blessing that three of the first girls who first entered the project now want to go back to help! Praise the Lord!

The bodega has been converted into a classroom so that the kids will have somewhere to go in February. Unfortunately the current building has only been approved until the end of 2011, so plans had to be made for a new school building! I have attached pictures of the building plans for the project. We are very excited to see God move!
