MISSION:  Continued improvements to the school
in the rural village of Bongo in the Chiriqui Province of Panama

On previous trips a three-room annex to the Church in Bongo was built. A kitchen and dining room were added last summer. The annex is being used for adult education (within a forty-mile radius there are no educational opportunities past sixth grade).

The plan for 2010 is to complete restrooms for the rural school
in Bongo and do some painting and roofing.

It is exciting to see the community’s enthusiastic support for these projects!

The Bongo United Methodist Church, established by missionaries in 1920, was the first Methodist church in Panama.
