In addition to raising funds for the community center construction and potable water project, we are still trying to raise funds to get the internet up and running in Camarones. Please consider helping us reach our goal to make this a possibility. We have been taking groups of kids to the closest internet cafe (an hour away) to chat with afterschool program participants at the Meadowood Neighborhood Center in Madison, Wisconsin. When we first started the video conference exchanges, we had 4 kids in Camarones that participated, but the group has grown into a group of about 20 dedicated kids who are practicing their English and asking good questions of their peers in Wisconsin.

After using the internet we often head down to the beach with the kids and play soccer, toss around a football that was donated by Meadowood kids, or take funny pictures like this one
One of the days we went to use the internet was "Kid's day" which is just like Father's or Mother's day here, but for kids, so we treated and bought ice cream cones in Pedernales
Look forward to more updates soon, and thanks for the continued support!! With your help, we recently raised an additional $200!! As always, if you are interested in helping to organize a fundraising event, want more information, or have a question, please email me!
