This week at Ascender Bolivia several programs were completed and we had the opportunity to see various graduations and a lot of happy, satisfied people. However, one of the most memorable events was the completion of the new bathrooms at a school in Basilio. I really wish we would have been here to see this project begin, but being able to help finish the bathrooms and see the result was incredible. This school is very large and it holds classes for kids of all ages, from first grade to twelfth. That is a lot of students that had to share only one small bathroom. The old bathrooms had one cramped stall for the boys and one for girls. They were disgusting... dirty and smelly and clearly used to their limit. The new bathrooms that Ascend constructed are way bigger and so much nicer! The boys and the girls each have seven stalls and three sinks. We had the honors of giving the girls the first tour of their new bathroom. This is a huge upgrade for these kids and they were so excited! We are so glad that we got to be a part of this project!
