Fayne Bullen took the lead in convincing Paso directors to support the primary school in Tierra Linda, a small mountain village nearby. “It takes a half hour rough ride by vehicle over the mountain, or you can climb the footpath 800 feet,” says Fayne.
Directors visited the school twice and met with the school committee and teachers in January and early February.
The school will have door windows and doors for unfinished classrooms, repairs to the roof, additional electrical lighting. Village volunteers will do the installations and Paso will buy the materials.
Paso has also agreed to joint funding with another donor to complete two new classrooms on the roof. This will provide much needed additional space.
Paso will also appeal to donors to purchase school supplies, furniture and classroom and recreation equipment.
“We are making an investment in the children of hard working families,” says Fayne Bullen.
