Zaragoza Inauguration


Today I had the privilege of representing the Step team that came to Zaragoza last summer. They had worked alongside an educational project in the town - who partnered with a local school to help children stay in education, and succeed. The team began a project to put a roof over the central courtyard of the school to protect the children from the sun and / or rain when we had various activities outside.

The project was finished a couple of months ago - but today we celebrated the official opening, along with the school headteacher, all the children,
the local mayor,
 the parents association,
  Rodolfo, representing, Educando Para la Vida,
 the local deputado
and me, representing Latin Link and the Step team.
 We even cut the ribbon. It seemed like they couldn´t quite decide who should do it, so everyone cut a bit and kept a piece of the ribbon!





 It´s so great to be able to be a part of something, where so many different people and organisations are playing a part, offering their efforts, time and resources for the benefit of the community.
