The project was designed to dig a well at the school and renovate the bathroom.
Lynn reports:
The Chuquexa II School is located on the Inter-American highway between Chupol and Las Trampas. The school is divided into two locations about 100 meters apart. The combined population is 745 students and 25 teachers in a village of 4200 inhabitants.
The basic project in the school was to provide the school with sufficient water supply. The lower school has sufficient water but the upper school has less because of the height of the school in the water system. A dug well was proposed for the school and was completed with this project. The well reached about 30 meters in depth and supplied a good supply of water for the school.
The balance of the project consisted of painting the bathrooms, repairing the handwashing stations, and repairing the toilets in both school structures.
The village donated food and housing for the masons and some local materials for the project. As a result of the village’s very hard work and donations, the project finished slightly under budget.
The teachers, children, and village were very pleased with the results of the work which will provide the students with a much-improved sanitary school when they return to the new school year in January 2018.
