The first two satellite centres are here, Cerro Pesqueda, and La Esperanza. On Monday 08 November, this barren brick building - without water or electricity (kindly made available to us by the Mayor of Pesqueda) - was converted into a three classroom mini school. Here 27 unschooled children were waiting for us to begin the process of preparing them to enter school.
