May - June 2016

Today in Talchiga:

Our godfather:

CARLOS MEMBREÑO Carlos Membreño is from the municipality of Cacaopera, but lives in California. He visited his scholarship students, a total of three, and shared with the entire educational community. Carlos is an example as a sponsor, for their dedication and commitment and should motivate everyone to be each day more caring and supportive. Thanks to people like him, many children in El Salvador may have access to education.

Lampposts and road repair.

There are 26 families currently living in the Community of Talchiga. This is an area of difficult access which has been forgotten by local authorities for years. For three months, they have been installed lampposts that will supply power to different families. Prior to this project, the families did not have electricity. A few years ago, some of these families were benefited from solar panels. The whole community feels now very grateful to the mayor, taking into account the efforts that have being made to improve life in the community.

Recent rains had caused a huge gully that had destroyed the entrance to the community, which posed a danger to all the inhabitants with the arrival of winter. The road has been currently repaired and the large hole has gone. A bridge has also been built to improve access to school. From here to the end of the year, FUNDEMAC will provide funds for the construction of a classroom and baths to replace the existing ones. FUNDEMAC will also try to improve access to water, not only for children who go to school, but also for their families, who currently have to travel to the nearest creek to fetch water.

Our achievements: ▪ Delivery of calligraphy and reading books to 26 students from the school to improve literacy. ▪ Leisure and recreational activities with students. ▪ Promoting hygiene among students in order to prevent disease and improve health. ▪ Raising funds for the construction of a classroom and bathrooms. ▪ First of three food deliveries to fifteen families in the community.

Talchiga School:

GRISELDA AMAYA

In the school of Talchiga, there are studying a total of twenty-six students, thirteen boys and thirteen girls from the community, from kindergarten level through 6th grade. The aid they receive through godparents from United States is essential, they sponsor them and provided with shoes, backpacks and books and other educational material. They are committed people who love children and live with them. Without their help, many children could not study or attend school, because they would not have the things they need. Therefore, the whole community is deeply grateful. The work performed by these godfathers and godmothers motivates both students and the teacher to keep working and keep going in the future. Students are very responsible. They collaborate and are actively involved in class, they investigate and pay close attention to everything. In fact, at the end of classes, they do not want to go home. They read and play, and enjoy a lot in school. Recently, it has launched a school garden, in which they have planted radishes, green onions, celery, peppers and beans and the students have received the necessary training to their care.

Our scholarships: Griselda Amaya has been the school principal of Talchiga for three years. She is also the teacher. Both roles are a great challenge for her. Getting to school takes her 2 hours walking. She is very happy to work in this community, and describe the experience as “very nice” and gratifying. She feels very committed. As an ex-scholarship of FUNDEMAC, she recognizes the work the organization does on a daily basis, both in theory and practice, “up work,” she says, and hopes for a better future for children, with better access and higher performance.

Erika is Zenaida is a student from the school of Talchiga. She is eleven years old and lives with her parents and three of his four brothers. Her godparents are Silvia Vazquez and Rosalí. “I love them a lot,” she says. She also tells us that she would like to go to college in the future to be a teacher and be able to explain different issues to children. She feels very fortunate while studying. Cristian Noé López Hernández is a 9-year-old-boy mentored by Carlos Membreño. Thanks to him, he can go every day to school and have the books and all the necessary school supplies. He promises us that he is going to study hard and confesses he would love to become a soldier. He loves school because he learns to read and write and loves drawing and doing different activities.
