Way to go Alberta! Bob Johnson - Mexican Schools Project
go to original May 14, 2012

For the past three years, teachers in Corrales, Mexico, have not had anywhere to live.

They have been passed around to different community members and slept on floors; sometimes even sharing a house with the students they are teaching. These teachers badly need a home.

Hearing of this, the Sunrise Rotary Club of Medicine Hat decided to have a Mexican Fiesta/silent auction.

Nearly 300 people attended with the intention of helping these teachers.

At the end of the night nearly $12,500 was raised. One guest made a personal donation of $2,000.

Along with the generous donation of $2,510 from the Eagle Butte high school in Dunmore, Alberta, this means almost  $15,000 has been raised to help build these teachers a home.

The local Mexican government will match these funds and the local community will help with the project.

Pretty Amazing!

Corrales is a little hamlet nestled along the shore of two pretty bays south of Puerto Vallarta and about 30 minutes north of Aquilles Serdan.
