Servicio Comunal en La Puebla

On Saturday we did a community service project at an elementary  school in a village in greater Atenas called La Puebla. We worked at this school two years ago and we were, once again, warmly received. As was the case two years ago, we were accompanied by students and some teachers from the Green Valley school in Atenas.  I (Steve) inadvertently deleted my photos of that day but luckily one of the Green Valley teachers (Irene Artavia)  took photos and she gave me copies of them to put up on the site. All the posted pictures were taken by her. Gracias Irene!  We painted 3 large walls, cleaned up brush and logs in the back of the school, painted some large recycling bins, and put together some wooden structures to make raised plant beds. The parents of the children from the La Puebla School made lunch for us, gave us drinks, and generally made us feel welcome and appreciated.
