A Completed School
This school was built by the School to School program sponsored by USAID. Students in the U.S. woulc raise up to $1.000 to build a school in an underdeveloped country. The locals were obligated to provide 60% of the cost including materials and labor. My job was to facilitate the construction, take pictures and send reports back to the students in the U. S. and to USAID.
