San Mateo School Phase 2,
Ecuador
The San Mateo school offered a unique opportunity for SCW. Here was the chance to provide a much-needed school in a distressed area and to give a posthumous acknowledgment to Rosslyn Swanson, a very generous donor and supporter. The school was built in two phases.
The school now serves 700 students, 560 from San Mateo and surrounding communities and 140 from the nearby town of San Lorenzo. The school not only provides an excellent learning facility but gives a healthy lunchtime meal to 700 kids every day. In addition, the teachers provide evening classes and counseling to parents. San Mateo is a poor fishing community and most parents have little if any formal education. The classes encourage and enable them to help their children move forward.
Phase 2 consists of three classrooms, a covered kitchen/dining area, a playground and a retaining wall that claims an area for possible future expansion.
