We have been working to rehabilitate schools that are still in need of repairs since the typhoon last fall. School will open in a few weeks and still there are many school that will open their door with unsafe conditions and significant damages. The pictures are of one such school we are working on. We supply the money for materials and volunteers do the work. There are so many schools in such disrepair that we can only scratch the surface. Our thinking is that it is better to help some then none at all. I have to control myself when I go into these schools, I get very angry that children are subjected to such conditions, in the USA these schools would be torn down. I have come to expect a "free and appropriate education" for all children, but I have to stop myself and remember I am in a third world country.
