La Escuela de Puerto Cabarete, a Dominican public school for students in grades K-8, is the location of our summer program, and yesterday we gave it a thorough cleaning. Many of our Mariposa girls and mothers, along with Nina, Jessica, Tricia, Paulina, and myself, arrived bright and early at 8 am to scrub the school from top to bottom.
The girls had fun with the brand-new mop, but it didn't stay clean for long!
Volunteers raked and cleaned up the yard.
A group of girls and mothers cleaned, sorted, and organized workbooks from the school year.
Tricia and Paulina plan our next move!

All of the chairs were scrubbed, rinsed, and put out in the schoolyard to dry.
While her job was to dust the books, she couldn't help but take some reading breaks. All of our students are so excited to LEARN!
Paz y amor (y muchas sonrisas).
Mother and daughter are tired, but proud at the end of our clean-up session.
Jenn - Your blog is fantastic! I'm so happy to have a way to peek in on what you all are accomplishing down in the DR. Best of luck!
