Today we went to Safe Passage. We started with a visit to the main office in Antigua, and they gave our group two branded t-shirts. Next we visited La Escuelita, a kindergarten style facility. After that, we toured the main campus of Safe Passage. We saw all of the classrooms, their gym, and the cafeteria. It was really interesting how resourceful they are with their space, and really make the most out of everything. Even though they need a lot in so little space, everything is very nice, and very well organized. They have a beautiful garden on the campus that was designed by the University of Washington. I’m actually sitting there as I write this. It’s really nice because it’s practical (lots of plants to learn about, benches to sit on) and it’s also really pretty with colorful flowers, and brightly painted walls. Overall I think that the campus represents what Safe Passage is. Not only is it resourceful and practical, but creative and helps makes schooling seem like less of a chore and more enjoyable for the children.
