Fundraising Push

As the Peruvian summer draws to an end, we are all working very hard to complete our most recent goals.  We have a crew of volunteers working with one of our student's fathers to put the finishing touches on the interior walls of the school, we are completing the construction of our  kitchen, developing a balanced meal plan that will incorporate the use of our fresh vegetables and donated food, fostering local partnerships that will help to provide a sustainable number of willing volunteers, continuing to develop our greenhouse and garden, collecting research and preparing a gardening pamphlet for the use of future volunteers, writing and translating an entire year's curriculum, developing an educational mural for the interior walls of both of our classrooms and collaborating with schools in other parts of the world to develop new aspects of our project such as potentially installing solar panels and creating a bottle cap mural on the exterior walls of our school.

We need to purchase several items before the start of the school year and are asking for your help.  If people donate just $10 or $15 each, we will have enough money to purchase the following items:

Latex paint for the interior walls of the school
School Supplies
Grains (quinoa and brown rice)
Files and file cabinet
Bins for storing and organizing the year's schools supplies
Tree seedlings to prevent soil erosion
Dowels or stakes to support our tomato plants
Two burner stove
Small refrigerator

Thank you so much in advance for helping our ecological school become a successful institute.
