Children who live too far away to commute regularly to school, stay weekdays in albergues, or dormitories, while attending classes. Often there are little funds to maintain or improve the facilities, and the children and their caretakers are forced to scrape along.

Club Rotario Los Barriles Cabo de Este hosted 30 Rotarians from Truckee Noon and Sunrise Clubs, Nevada City Rotary Club, Point West - Sacramento Rotary Club, and Fair Oaks Rotary Club. We spent two days painting and repairing the San Antonio and La Ribera albergues.

In late March fifteen teenagers and their chaperones from the Rotary Interact Club of Madera, CA, arrive to spend their Spring Break painting albergues and delivering water filters to ranchos west of San Bartolo.
