Visit to Paraheta School

Thant arranged a visit for us to Paraheta School, a school we funded for 2 months last year whilst they waited for their donor to provide their funding. We currently fund the school's supply of bottled water as their water is from a local stream full of pesticides and fertilizer.The school has changed a little since our last visit, there is now a concrete floor and half walls around the main classrooms area. They have recently had 20 new desks which is great as they previously worked on the floor. School had finished for the day as we couldn't go until 6pm but there were still 20 students there who live there permanently. With no electricity and light fading fast, we had a quick look around, watched the children do their homework and then have their evening meal in candle light. One of the photos is taken with a flash, the other shows the lighting as it really is. Quite a quaint atmosphere if you forget about their situation!
