The two closest villages to the student house PAKASHKA-SACHA are Guinea Chimbana and Pano. Approximately 5000 people live within this radius. 
For the school in Pano, Jose Baron Ruiz, PAKASHKA-SACHA was asked if we could cover the costs for a classroom door. The cost was USD 120.-.
I agreed because the existing door was completely rusted through and could no longer be closed. Vandalism and theft were the result.
On completion, I was invited by the school authorities to inaugurate the new door.
The principal of the school, Marco Chavez, gave me a tour of the school afterwards. The condition was alarming. Especially now during the COVID period, after which the schools remained almost unused. Rusted-through pillars in the gymnasium, fungal growth in classrooms, lack of lighting in classrooms, etc. 
When asked how much the state was contributing to this public school, the answer was. Since the COVID time there is hardly any money. Last year the school received 6 brooms for cleaning. That was all. 
Requests for urgent restoration were denied. Most of the school’s structures were built 15 years ago and have never been maintained since. Only maintenance work was by the students’ parents. Painting work, environmental work and the roughest cement repair work, but no more.
If no basic renovation work is done in the next few years, this school will collapse in on itself and in the worst case injure students. 
We stay tuned.
