Happy almost spring ...

It's been a while ... but not for lack of trying ... we suffer from very slow internet, especially in this high high season ...

A lot has happened in 3 months, United States election for one ... It feels so far removed from here , but we still feel the effects ... 

It's been 4 months since we lost Maestro Pedro. 
Life goes on and so does his legacy. 

The students are dancing and painting like wild fire. It's so exciting to watch the programs grow and the students are so dedicated, and talented ! 

The schools operate with minimal resources. 

There is a staff shortage, supply storage, storage shortage,
photocopy and ink shortage, bathroom supplies and etc.

With the help of teachers, parents, and visiting professionals we submitted a proposal to the ISA MUNDO Foundation,
operating out of Vancouver Canada, to sponser the start up
of a web site focusing on the needs and objectives of all 4 Yelapa Schools. 

In this way we hope to co ordinate and stream line the abundant resources that flow into Yelapa on a regular basis every winter. Finding money is not easy, but I will continue
to do the best I can.  

It's been a great season so far.

Although CHESLEY CHICKEN is closed, the ESL group is going strong.  It's especially popular with Kindergarten, which is challenging but so much fun.  

Just a quick note to say I'm back on track, and will write
first Sundays of every month, but for now I must go;

it's Thursday morning garbage day, 7 am and first light, but 

at least it's not snowing !
