A couple months ago I was contacted by a company who provides service projects for groups of people visiting this area of Mexico. They had a group of 60 grocery store providers coming to Playa del Carmen in January and wanted me to find them a school to help. I had been talking with the directors of a primary school in the Colosio, Gregoria Cob Cob Primaria, about a library. Last year with KKIS Project I had seen their wonderful library room with shelves, computers and air conditioning but very few books. Unfortunately when I checked again that library room had been vandalized over the summer and was totally out of use. Subsequently each of the 17 classrooms had set up small library shelves that were being used for Reading Clubs. The morning director told me she would also really appreciate having the school cleaned up a bit: the cafeteria tables and walls were dirty, paint was peeling from the outer walls of classrooms and a colorful mural on the inner wall of the playground would be wonderful.
