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!
