Abbie’s School is a homeschool cooperative with 30 children in Culebra. For the sixth year, the students go to Rancho Culebra Farm once a week to learn about growing their own food, cooking delicious recipes with fresh ingredients and selling the products of the farm to the people of Culebra and visitors to raise money for their school. Although the visits had to be suspended due to the pandemic, we look forward to restarting the program this fall.
The Foundation provides scholarships to students who would otherwise not be able to attend. We also purchased an electric whiteboard and related equipment to provide teachers and students a tool for teaching and learning, as well as providing the experience of working with this type of technology.
We have also provided the school with a van large enough to carry at least 15 students at time.
The school reopened a week after Maria without electricity or water. The Foundation provided a generator to allow the school to be fully operational.
