Our appreciation to all involved to make this a successful project: Grier, and the Rotarians from California, Marianna, Eddie and all the local Rotarians, members of my club, Sonny and Nadine, who participated and especially the local Los Palmas parents and citizens that put in so much sweat and skilled labor.

I want to recognize and exclaim a special recognition to the teachers and staff of the school for their dedication, for their tireless energy, leadership and work to cause this project’s success, along with numerous other projects on the school campus. Through their efforts, the children from this school will be well prepared. It has been a joy to work with Teachers Benanzo, Martin and Sergio with the special effort and knowledge each added to the project. Oh, if all teachers in that profession had the dedication seen here, the students of Mexico or anywhere else would be better educated.
