On monday, we got to the school, the principal met the team and then proceeded to introduce them to some of the teachers and show them the school. We went to the project area and the team was very pleased with the work that we had done at that point.
We saw the cafeteria, the library, the letrines, which were in very bad condition, and the kids bathrooms, which were out of work.
There was a class break and the school Patio was full of children. A bunch of them started to follow us. Some of them would come and say hi, how are you, or whatever they could say in English. IThere was a moment where Norm, Lori and Diane where surrounded by kids who were singing typical dominican school songs for them.
After the break we visited several classes and talked to the students. Some of the teachers and students referred to the team as: "The ones who brought us the computers".
The kids were shy but still some of them asked questions. It was a nice morning.
The team, the staff and the students got acquainted really fast.
Diane donated books for the library and we had talks with the principal about project maintenance. The team also had the chance to get their hands dirty and give the final details before inauguration day.
They worked really hard and their pressense was very important for the School staff, as well as the students.
