School at Paxixil

The rural village of PAXIXIL is located 5 km. from Tecpan, Chimaltenango. Most of the people are mainly farmers and are extremely poor. In July of this year, a group from the Seekerīs Church will come to build an extension to the school. They have raised $10,000 but we need an additional $10,000 to be able to complete the construction project. "

 

School at Paxixil 

As you can see in the above photo, the children receive classes  in this shack.

It is dark, with a dirt floor, and badly equipped.

 

School at Paxixil 

 

The children bring in their own plastic chair to school each day or use a piece of wood supported by two blocks of cement. Benches are used as tables. The books are few and materials almost non existent. At present one hundred and fifteen children are enrolled but the teachers estimate that more will enroll once the school is built. The total cost of the school is an estimated $ 38,663, we are rounding it up to 38,500. The Municipality will contribute an approximate $ 13,000, the villagers approximately $ 5,500 and the Seekerīs Church has raised $ 10,000. We need to raise an additional $10,000 in order to complete the 3 classroom extension to the school. We are asking De la Selva to raise these $10,000. We have worked the budget considering Seeker’s Church and De la Selva together, and the divided by two.

The above photograph was taken at La Puerta; this school was built last year.  The school we are planning to build in Paxixl would look like this.

Below is the detailed budget and what each participant would contribute.

P.A.V.A.īs philosophy requires that the community and Municipality participate in the projects; this enables the community members to acquire ownership of the project thus guaranteeing its subsequent viability. The community has promised to contribute with materials and unskilled labor.  The Municipality will contribute with materials, transportation and qualified labor.

The Seekerīs Church group will come in the month of June and begin the construction work, they will work for 2 weeks. After that the PAVA technician will oversee and direct the job to full completion.
