Dear Friends,
La Rosa Blanca Design/Build
workshop lives on! This year
it will be lead by Jamie Scott
Breinberg, an alumnus of La Rosa Blanca 1992 and the
world's leading expert on ceramic buildings,
which are fired clay buildings. We
will be working with adobe/clay to create beautiful new
bathrooms
for the elementary school. Jim Hubbell will
lead the stained glass workshop on June 22nd.
High School
students, college students and adults are invited to
participate
in this unique experience.
Participants will be housed at the
school. There will be a cultural
exchange opportunity for
those interested in staying with the families of our
high school students. La Rosa Blanca is
famous for
introducing participants to the delicious cuisine of
Mexico and a first hand experience of the warmth and
hospitality of Baja
Californians. We will be close
to the beautiful Baja Beach and San Diego, CA.
There will be
more information in subsequent emails.
However, let us know as soon as possible if you
are interested in participating. See
flyer below.
Thanks
for your interest in helping the
schools. I hope to see you,
Christine

We are starting a new Senior High School
Preparatoria La Esperanza is in the beginning stage of constructionLa Esperanza Posters for you
Dear Friends,Harden Miers created three lovely posters of the schools in Colonia La Esperanza for the Cinco de Mayo Gran Kermesse event that we celebrated this past May 4th at the Museum of Contemporaty Art San Diego and the St. James by the Sea Church in La Jolla.
The posters are collages of photos taken at the La Esperanza schools over the past fourteen years. I'm sending you the pdf files of the three posters, which you can print in any size on a color printer. Originally, the posters measured 24" by 30".
Since this summer we will be busy constructing a new classroom building to start the new high school. I attached the "Time to Build" poster to this message.
Thank you once agaoin for your efforts and support that have been critical to the existence and progress of the schools in Colonia La Esperanza.
Hope you enjoy these, Christine Brady
