Laguna Seca Preschool (Nicaragua)
Scheduled April 2012
In the heart of Nicaragua’s coffee country, the community of Laguna Seca sits next to what was once a pristine lagoon–now a dried out basin–where the community gets its name.
The majority of the population of Laguna Seca work 6 days a week, earning minimum wage ($23 USD per month) at the nearby “beneficios” or coffee processing plants. Because of the lack of economic opportunities, this community has worked hard over the years to provide a decent education for their children.
Before there was a school, the community mobilized to dig out and level the land to build the current school with the few materials they had. The preschool class currently meets in a rustic brick building with a dirt floor and partially exposed roof that is on the same site as the existing primary school. The community remains very actively involved and has already formed a Promise Committee to start constructing their new preschool. PoP is also hoping to connect their community with other organizations to help them dig a well for their school and community.
