Project Updates

During the pandemic, the local high school in Drake Bay was shut down. Initially, it was due to public safety measures related to the pandemic. However, after the pandemic passed, other health and structural issues were discovered with the high school. The high was deemed inoperable by the government. Since march 2020, the local high school students have been unable to return to the classroom in Drake Bay. This may not seem very devastating considering that most children can take online classes. However, because so many children do not have a reliable access to the internet in Drake Bay, the effect of not returning to school for two years is truly devastating for the local children. 

We are working with the local community to repair the local high school to bring it back up to operable standards. As of June 2022, the necessary work to re-open has been completed. The local government now needs to approve the changes in order to re-open the school.
