Classes run from 7am - 12noon Monday through Friday, with field work
in the afternoon from 2pm-4pm. Extra-curricular activities run from
4pm-6pm Monday through Friday.
We planned four field trips the first semester for the students, 1)
Tikal, 2) Waterfalls, 3) Cerro Cahui, and the big one in June 4)
Mirador. And for the second semester we have trips planned to Rio
Dulce/Livingston, Uaxactun, and Peru-Waka.
This is a 3 year project, and our final goal will be to have
established a formal school that provides local students a proper
and quality education. By 2011, we hope to have most of our
students ready for university level education, and the top few ready
to take on the responsibility of running the Natural Resource
School.
Please help us to make this school a success! Donate today to
sponsor one of the students below. Sponsorship for 1 full year is
$350 USD which covers tuition and books. We are also looking for
donations to help us cover costs for field trips, informative talks,
and other resources for our school (i.e. microscopes, maps, tools,
etc.).
We also need help with our music program, so any type of musical
donation would be very appreciated. Also, if you are in a band or
group, visiting our students would make a great field trip!
3 computers for our computer lab in the community library which will
be used in conjunction with our school were donated funds raised
though Paul Thorne (http://paulthorne.synthasite.com/
) WE NEED A FEW MORE COMPUTERS! Our goal for the school is to have
10 computers.
We desperately need Spanish Speaking Teachers to help me with this
project in 2010. If you are fluent and want to teach a semester (5
months) please contact me. We are currently soliciting funds to
provide airfare and accommodations for 5 months for teachers.
From February through June, we will be focusing on 4 main projects
with the school: 1) Building with reused plastic bottles, 2) A
sociological profile of San Andres, 3) Agriculture and 4) solving
the town's horrible trash problem. |
