A meeting with folks from El Chilar
Much to my surprise… it was a successful meeting. Parents and students from El Chilar came to meet with me about the Jr Hi program we started in their community. Truthfully, I was skeptical about any involvement from these folks. It has a reputation of being a really tough community to deal with.
Students filling out the application forms that is one of my criteria for continuing this program. This year families were asked to contribute both financially (a monthly fee) and in participation. I will meet with students and families each time I visit here.
