Escuela Jose Trinidad Cabanas, El Tamagas, Honduras

The 1-6 graders are so happy to be showing off their new books!
A total of 28 students attend this school, from Kindergarten to 6th grade. One room is just for kindergarten, which they have one class in the morning and another in the afternoon. Then the other classroom is for all grades 1-6.

The cutest little kinder! We are making sure that they will grow up to love books.

We got to this school as the kids were having "physical education" - playing soccer on a rough field nearby. But when they saw us coming with the books, PE was immediately over and the kids came running to see what new stories we had for them.

A great display of their books.
This school is one of the hardest ones to reach. The road is long and very bumpy. If it had rained the night before we might not have been able to go, but luckily we had a 4X4 truck and a good local driver who knew how not to get stuck in the mud. The beautiful, lush scenery near the school almost made up for the bad roads.


This school was visited by Volunteers Kira and Alice Gartell in July 2011.
