Below
is a letter we received from the Costura - Sewing Committee of Los Toros.
They are thanking all of you who helped with sewing materials and
requesting that we help them to find room for their courses; right now
they are in very tight quarters! Here is their letter:
To:
Sr.
Donald F. Kabara
Antes
que nada el grupo de costura que representa la profesora Mercedes, le
saluda y le agradeces a usted y a todas la personas que de una forma u
otra colaboran para hacer posible el desarrollo de nuestra comunidad.
Gracias
por los materiales de costura traído
en el pasado Mes de mayo. Con ellos le daremos continuidad al curso de
corte y confección de ropa de vestir.
Por
lo que le solicitamos a quien nos pueda ayudar con algunos recursos para
llevar a cabo el curso de decoración de interiores.
Así
como la construcción de un aula ya que el espacio físico es muy pequeño
y prestado.
Deseándole
que en este momento usted y su familia se encuentren bien de salud.
Y que Dios le recompense con Salud, Paz, Amor y Gracia.
Atentamente,

Campaign
In
2007 the Foundation received a grant dedicated to constructing a visitors
house in Los Toros - in Spanish they call it a Pension. Construction plans
have been completed and land has been acquired and we are ready to start
building. Dee and Al Schlecht are leading a fund drive to raise $5,000.00
to complete the funding for this project. Below is information about the
Pension. If you would like to contribute you can send your contribution

Los
Toros Liceo
We have received word -
from two sources - that work has begun on the construction of the Liceo
for Los Toros. At this point we are unsure of exactly what progress has
been made however it appears that the dream of having their very own Liceo
may be realized by the people of Los Toros. We await photos and further
information - as soon as we have more news we will post it right here!!
Meanwhile we are keeping
our fingers crossed and we hope to see ongoing construction during our
October visit!
