Members from El Cedro, La Gina, La Mina and El Guaco communities, along with representatives of Fundación Tropicalia, came together to renovate the school’s building and its surrounding areas. The project took place over an 8 week period where community members renovated classrooms, bathrooms, plumbing systems, gardens and exterior paint. The school’s restoration benefited 130 children and 4 teachers.
