I am here Looking at this mess , my eyes can't believe the poor conditions in most of the school in Atlantida I hope the schools in other part of the country is doing better, I aM see about 92 % of the school in a terrible shape, look up to the ceiling tiles look all the mold, this is mold kids breating evryday ,plus the Asbestos is leaking to the ceiling terrible, we need to take care school better this is the younger minds that will launch the country to a new levels in the future if we provide then we the tools and good education,if we let the educations and school keep going down like that, we are dune as Nation, and we will continuos fold behind other countries , so now is the time to make the diferences.The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power.

here you can see the outside of the classroom that are really bad , roof acourses is "asbestos".kids have more chance to catch a deceases that will make then very ill instead of learning somenthing.

view outside of the classrom and the bad roofing.

sometimes when the rain was to strong and the classroom was full of water they take the kids to the porch outside the classrom , you can see here this is the roof above the porch , you can see was really bad too.

here you can see againg how bad the ceiling and roofing is , walls too, the smell of mold is very strong i don't know how the kids and teachers manages to be there for few hours and have classes there.

look the amount of water geting into the classroms, and if you think this is bad , this is only about 1/4 of the water , this clasroom sometime was complete full of raining water.

look the hole in the roof, this is a working school is not abandoned , and is alot more just like this one ,

Look here this is another classroom look the damages in the celing tiles and roof, when rain is just pour down poor kids , how can you ask children for better grades , when some are have a poor nutrition to star , and some of the school are in very bad shape.

Roofing at school Antonia paz, can you believe kids is taking class in schools like that all over honduras, this is terrible.
