Boca Chica School Project

(Click Photos To Enlarge)

The Boca Chica Elementary School, grades 1 - 6, is Gone Fishing Panama Resort's ongoing community service project. The Boca Chica School is in dire need of many things, and as a former owner of private schools in the States, I could not but help at this school.   So far, since 2003, we have set up a food program, milk program, improved the sanitary and health conditions, purchased textbooks and have the rudimentary start of a library.



We have support of the Rotary Club of David, for which we are grateful. Our clients and some U.S. teachers have also been continued contributors to our project. Recently we have received support from two US Rotary Clubs!  We are blessed!

Our current project is a big one, we are adding on a classroom. We only have one classroom for 28 students, grades 1 -6, with one teacher, so the need is grand!  If you are interested in making a monetary contribution, if would be greatly appreciated, please contact your local Rotary or me.

May 2009:

The school has grown to 38 students. We have been so fortunate to have generous and concerned people helping us to improve the quality of education for the youngsters in Boca Chica. We now have a much needed additional classroom… finished! With the generosity of Bainbridge Island Washington Rotary, Rotary Club of David and the International Rotary Consortium , we have put in windows and air conditioning, purchased textbooks and school supplies, made the kitchen a sanitary place to prepare food, painted…

Many thanks to all that have contributed to this project. The children can now come to a clean, safe and healthy school!

And NOW we are working on phase one of a playground. (There is not even a swing in Boca Chica) Check back here for the design drawing. We are developing a fishing village nautical themed playground! Contributions are welcome!

If you would like to make suggestions or to contribute in another way please contact me via email. Dr. Donna J. Skinner drdjse@hotmail.com   ALL contributions go toward direct student services, there are no administrative fees, no waste, I see to that!
