We are thrilled to announce that the Amazon Teacher Wishlist for Escuela Amistad and Escuela Tecnica has been 100% cleared! Every single item that teachers personally requested has been purchased!
We are deeply moved by the kindness of our community and those living afar. We want to give a special shout-out to Pete’s Fire Department, who stepped in to fully complete the list!
What you may not know is that in San Felipe—and throughout much of Mexico— teachers often face significant delays in receiving their paychecks, sometimes going six months without a paycheck. Despite this, they continue to show up day after day for their students, even using their own limited resources to teach
.
Thanks to the incredible generosity and support of those near and far, teachers now have the tools they need to start the year with confidence. The art teacher has a full set of supplies, the PE teacher has equipment for structured games, the school has safety whistles, and the classroom teachers and staff have consumable essentials that they usually pay for out of their own pockets.
Each of these incredible donations do more than just fill the classroom shelves—they lift a heavy burden. Thank you for showing up for teachers in San Felipe.
Jim Carson here - "Guru of Garbage" - I am going north from the 17th until the 30th or so and wanted to let you know a few things.
See you all next year!
