Education

Before Epilogos... 

There were no computers in the village, no literacy classes, and no scholarships for the bright, highly motivated students born hopelessly poor.

...And now

• Hundreds of needy kids who would have dropped out of school have received educational financial support, uniforms, shoes, backpacks, school supplies, and learning aids
• Three village schools now have state-of-the-art computer systems and new  facilities
• 1500 students have a newly constructed, fully equipped science labs  
• 1200 students have a new internal lending library with hundreds of books and educational CDs
• Unschooled adults and youth attend literacy classes
• Local art, English, and science teachers are learning new classroom skills from U.S. volunteer teachers
• Various schools now provide healthy lunches and snacks to more than 800 needy children  
• Volunteers and school youth and their families created sturdy foundations for a future gymnasium that will have a stage, bleachers, and a large roof when completed
