This picture is ridiculous, but dad wanted me to attach it to prove that he and mom were really in Costa Rica. But, to see them drinking pina coladas? Really?!? So, they were there… drinking pina coladas… whoopee.
BUT, they also visited The Jauuri School and met with the school principal and the entire PTA (mom says that there were 5 of them). During their visit to the school, they got to meet the kids, see all the classrooms and view the Walkway where we are building a roof and also widening the concrete Walkway (which is necessary because they have two students in wheelchairs and they can’t make it to the lunch room without assistance because the Walkway is too narrow).
The kids were all dressed up in their finest clothes to meet mom and dad and two girls took mom’s hands and brought her to each classroom where she and dad were greeted by every student who, in English, introduced themselves. This is a big school compared to those we have supported in the past with 150 students.
During the visit, they all discussed various projects that the school officials dream of doing. While several were just too expensive (and dad had to say no), they finally agreed on this year’s projects. So, with monies received from our 2013 Canines For Kids Walk (scheduled for May 11th), they will be able to add another roof over a shorter Walkway and add an addition to the Kindergarten where they will install a new Bathroom.
So, there we are… Canines For Kids Walk number 7!! Wow, seems like I’ve been doing this for half my life… oh, guess I have… Looks like we could have 7 Walkers this year so all we have to do now is wait for our humans to get us Walkers some sponsors!
