Funding initiative for middle school recreation area a great success!

The middle school in Chocolá (IMEBCE) had no recreation area other than an uneven dirt quadrangle outside its classrooms. The quad was used for musical and dance programs, assemblies and sports activities. During the rainy season, the quad was muddy and unusable most of the day. Amigos raised funds to help local volunteers and contractors in the summer of 2019 pour concrete over the playing field (la cancha) and add soccer and basketball goals and painted lines. Outdoor activities are now held without concern for rain or other adverse conditions and provide students more opportunities for physical and cultural education. Amigos is pleased and proud to be a partner in this new addition to the middle school.
