The school in Guatemala is open for classes! An amazing team of volunteers and local guatemalan construction workers pulled off what was a pretty lofty goal - to build a school in one year! The top floor still needs to be finished out, and all the landscaping needs to be done, but since they only have pre-k through 4th grade this year, they can complete that during the school year.
Global Shore Opportunities put together this recap of that year as part of the grand opening celebration last weekend. Pretty amazing.
There are also photos of the celebration and first day of school on their flickr site (click here)
