We are pleased to announce "Mayan Partners" will take over the salaries for the teachers and cook.
This will take pressure off Saludos Ninos to find all the money each year.
Work is underway to dig a reservoir for the kitchen water runoff. It had to be 16 feet deep,so extra care was taken yesterday to keep the kids inside so none of them fell into the hole. Some of the dirt is being used to level out the yard, but most was carted away to make room for the layers of sand needed to filter the grey water.

Justin and Michelle , are here for 2 more weeks. Justin will help me do a financial statement
on line and Michell is taking pictures, helping the kids in the classroom and is keen to fund a program called "an egg a day". Our kids will be given an egg a day per week to help improve their protein levels. Luckily,
friends of Ann and Kent have just begun an egg operation on the very next piece of property up from Saludos NINOS, so there is our egg source. It certainly could not be any CLOSER!!
Our Saludos Ninos board members , Ann and Kent from CALIFORNIA were just here for 5 days
which was very nice as they have good Spanish so we got many things sorted out .
A medical clinic is being organized for Feb 11 here a visiting doctor will examine all our kids and members of their family who need to be seen. Meds will be made available to those who need them.
The bookcases need to be painted in each classroom and workers are in this Saturday to do just
that. Then perhaps the next weekend, the interior of the classes will be painted and some exterior,too.
