Help us Build and Support
La Escuela Bilingue los Algarrobos.
Canoa is a small fishing village on the northern coast of Ecuador. Because many of its families live on less than $250 per month, education has not always been an option for the children.
A little money goes a long way.
An entire classroom can built for $10,000.
For only $100 per month, a child's tuition can be paid.
The parents asked for our help in making this school a reality, and we are now asking you to help us.
Your contributions are fully tax-deductable.

Graduation 2009

Graduation – a first step in young lives

January 20, 2009, was Graduation Day at the school. It is tradition in Ecuador to have a graduation ceremony for children in kindergarten. Proud students celebrated the traditional event in grand style with a ceremony at the Hostel Baloo in Canoa.
Wearing a cap and gown, each student signed the graduation book and then received their diploma, followed by food prepared by parents and staff of the Baloo.
These 20 students and their families mirror the enthusiasm the community has for its new school. We hope you will recognize and share the passion for education these children and their parents exhibit.
