In a zone where temperatures can rise to above 38°C (100º F), the children had no suitable, healthy environment in which to study. But now, when the next school year begins in March, they will have a different school. Two 3,750-litre water tanks have been installed with a pump
system so that pupils can have water for drinking and cooking as well as for toilets and showers. In fact, not all the children have water in their houses; so we thought it necessary to install showers at the school. The walls and floors of the bathrooms have been tiled in order to ensure that they will be clean and hygienic.

All this work is being carried out with the valuable assistance and supervision of Francisco, a local volunteer who has placed his in-depth building knowledge at the service of ANUPAZ. With untiring, steadfast devotion, he has faced the heat and difficult living conditions  in
Suri Pozo so that everything will be perfect and ready for the start of the school year.
