JUNGLE SCHOOL
There are presently >45 children in an area of the lower Cangrejal River Watershed, in an area known as Herradura, that are not in school or for whom it is a hardship to attend school.
Helping Honduras Kids (HHK) has completed construction of a Jungle School in a forested area above the main gravel road. This is an area of depressed economic resources, and parents cannot afford to send their children by bus to the schools in La Ceiba, or farther up the road to the village of El Naranjo.
The organizations "Schools for the children of the World" and "Engineers Without Borders" helped us complete this project.
Classes began in February, 2007. This is a private school, as children in government schools miss up to half their school days. Student desks and other furniture were constructed from lumber cut in the nearby forest. Labor was donated by the families who will benefit from this school. HHK has provided students with uniforms, school supplies, personal items, medicines, vitamins, a hot meal daily, English and computer classes, etc. We have also started a Saturday morning kindergarten at this site. One little 4-yr-old girl walks 2 hours one-way on slippery mountain paths to attend.
