The mission of the
Americas Foundation is to
give aid to
disadvantaged children and promote binational
community development.
The primary approach of
the Foundation to achieve these goals
has been to provide talented, intelligent children living in
underdeveloped neighborhoods
the opportunity to
study, experience the Arts, and begin to realize their
potential.

Help us
to finish the construction of the Adobe
bathrooms
for the Colegio La Esperanza Elementary School!
Dear
Friends,
2011 was a productive year for the La Esperanza
schools. We managed to keep building even
with the most modest of funding . During
the summer La Rosa Blanca design/build workshop, we
initiated construction of an adobe bathroom
structure to meet the requirements of the Secretary
of Education for more bathrooms for the
school. We also wanted to experiment
with a more economical building material that
parents and high school students could help
build.
We're halfway done, and half reached the limit of
our resources. We need your help.
Click on the photo at left to open a photo album of
the school construction supported by the Americas
Foundation during 2011 and see the progress made on
the entryway and adobe bathroom structure.
Below is a list of what your donation at this time
will help us pay for for, to continue the bathroom
construction. Presently, the structure is half
plastered, has no doors, no windows, no plumbing, no
electricity, no fixtures and no interior or exterior
floors.
We need a total of $19,800 to finish the 650 sq. ft.
bathroom structure. Any and all help would be
greatly appreciated.
