Return To Perquin

Focal Point Aid heads back to EL SALVADOR.

On Wednesday May 13th, members of Focal Point Aid will head back to El Salvador to visit our friends at the Amun Shea school. As we mentioned in our most recent update, because of generous donations to Focal Point Aid, we were able to purchase desks and textbooks for the students at Amun Shea. Most of the goods have arrived and we have been invited by the school and the Perkin Educational Opportunities Foundation (PEOF) to visit and witness the progress of the program.

As you may remember, Amun Shea is a private school program in Perquin, El Salvador in the Morazon Province. It opened last year for 52 students Kindergarten through 3rd grade. It quickly showed great success and is a model for what education can do for a community that has gone through some tough times.

We are happy to be able to help, and are hopeful that our relationship with this school and its families will inspire others to reach out and assist in any way that they can.
