Working at San Jose Obrero school

Team Tobatí is very excited about our 11th annual March community service trip to Tobatí, Paraguay for students, alumni and faculty from Kingswood-Oxford school in West Hartford, CT. The tentative dates for the trip are March 8 - 19.

The dozens of projects and programs worked on during the March service trip will bring about considerable progress within the educational and medical infrastructure offered to the poor of the region.  Along with other constructions funded by the team, this group of students, alumni, and faculty will be building an additional classroom at the Macchi School in order to allow for

the growth of the institution from four grades to five.  The team will build a classroom at the San Rafael grade school in the poor rural village of 21 de Julio, Tobatí so that more young people from this area are able to attend a school.  This will be the second classroom at this new school founded by Team Tobatí.  The team will construct a new plaza (park & soccer field) in the poor Virgen del Rosario neighborhood in central Tobatí so that the many children in this area have a place to play. 

The team will construct a classroom at the grade school in the poor rural village of Costa Alegre, Tobatí so that children from this community can attend middle school.  This will be the third classroom constructed by the team at this school.  The team will construct a classroom at the middle school in the poor rural village of Mompox, Tobatí with the same goal of allowing students to stay in school at least through the middle school.  This will be the second classroom built by the team at this school.  The team will be constructing a sewing room at the community development center in Mompox, Tobati and a classroom in the poor Ju´uguaty neighborhood in central Tobatí.  The team has worked on numerous projects at these two locations.  The team will be building a classroom in the poor rural community of San Felipe to allow this small school to serve its growing population.  This will be the team's second classroom in San Felipe.  The team will work on and fund over 20 projects such as these.  Each of these will increase the educational opportunities offered to the children of this impoverished district.
