Wrap-up

After a week in El Salvador (and a little trip to Honduras) members of Focal Point Aid have returned. We were able to spend some valuable time with our friends at Amun Shea. We were proud to be able to buy new desks and textbooks for the students of the school and were invited to take pictures to document the progress the school has seen during its second year.

The school continues to be a great success story, but it is not a guaranteed success. It will have to work hard and struggle just to keep its doors open. The standard it has set for itself is high and they have hopes to continue the promise it has made to these children and the community. Seeing what can be accomplished in just a short amount of time has indeed been an inspiration.

Thank you to all the students, teachers and folks at the Perkin Lenca Hotel for the warm welcome. We hope bringing attention to this region and this school will bring some aid their way.

There is much more to come. This blog will continue to be live, so please check back often for updates and information.
