Information Packets to 4th grade

Today Scott handed out mini information packets to everyone in his class. The packet included the list of projects that the group is scheduled to do:

• Build phase II of the Physical Therapy Center for disabled children. In 2006, we completed phase I and we are currently providing treatment never before available to children in the area. There will be five VT/Maine physical therapists traveling to provide therapy and help train Honduran physical therapy assistants. A P.T. exchange internship program is also being developed.
• Build two classrooms – at Jubilado School and Jasmin School
• Paint a school – Vincente Caceres School
• Build a playground at the daycare center that has no outdoor play facility for children
• Build a playground with soccer field for children of Tela
• Provide a temporary medical clinic with a 16 member medical team - doctors, RN’s, nurse practicioners
• Provide a temporary dental clinic with a two member dental team
• Build six latrines in a rural school
• Provide latrines for 125 rural families
• Develop a ‘virtual library’ in Tela We are asking for his classmates to bring in their old T-shirts, shorts and any games and toys that they would want Scott to give to the children down there.

We'll have a box in the classroom for donations!
