The group will take on a renovation project in a school in Pespire. The school has been offered 15 computers by the government if they are able to renovate a room to make it sufficient to house computers. Central American Relief Efforts has agreed to fund the project so that the school can take advantage of this opportunity. The group will also paint two schools and give eye screening and dental hygiene treatment to the students at multiple schools. We are looking forward to a productive week!
