In 2015, the community of Bocana de Tawa, Nicaragua and Project Schoolhouse collaborated to construct a new two-room school.
This community sits on the shore of the Tuma river at the very end of a year-round road, which made the transportation of materials somewhat easier that in year’s past. The community of 34 families worked all year to build not only the school but also a water system that will deliver water to the every home.
