This is San Antonio!
Out in the campo. Green, green, green.
The road used to be paved. Then, it got a lot of potholes, so the mayor had it torn up, and never repaved it. The aqueduct is damaged, and only reaches a part of the community when it is working.
The school yard. I think the trees may have been planted by a PCV in the 80’s. The Ministry of Ed was fixing it up, then the contractor left with the money. So, the offices are rubble, they don’t have batteries or invertors, and they use an outdoor shelter made from political banners and advertisements as class space.
You can see the fogons (three-stone cooking fires) mixed in with the chairs.
The offices, boarded up.
It’s a great little campo town. The people are super nice, very welcoming, and are excited of the prospects of doing projects. First up: sending letters to the Ministry of Ed, and trying to get the school fixed up.
