About three years ago,our family came up with an idea to try to send or bring school supplies to a little cove up in the Sea called San Evaristo. There is a school with about 20 kids in it and it goes up to 6Th grade. After that there is no more school unless they go to La Paz. The boys go fishing with their fathers and the girls make tortilla's and food for the visitors(very few). It took us about one week to sail up there in our last boat.We walked up to the school,about a mile away from the beach,and talked and gave them the school supplies we brought.We played two games of soccer and then, with the teacher and everybody, we walked them home, seeing where and how they lived. There is a water purification plant that the government put there. It takes salt water and changes it into fresh water.only one home has a phone(only used for emergencies)and almost all the houses are made out of cardboard. There is no electricity and use solar panels to charge batteries that run their lights. on the back of the island there is a salt flat. All of the men that don't fish take care of the salt.There are huge pits dug in the sand with salt water in them. When the water evaporates they scrape up the salt with a shovel and bag it up and send it to la Paz. We're hoping that once we get the schooner we can take more school supples to other coves in the sea. Isabelle
