BGF broke ground on Pozo Azul Phase 2 in November of 2021, after completing the first classroom building in Pozo Azul in mid-2019. We're thrilled to continue construction at this campus with Phase 2, the second school building, under the direction of field manager Sebastin Martnez and volunteer project manager Mike Rabinowitz.
The second building will ultimately house two classrooms and will include expanding the existing community garden and making it a teaching garden next year. As of this year, the school has 51 students enrolled and there is already a growing waitlist of students. When completed, this second school building will allow the school to double the number of students enrolled, and has a target completion date of mid-2022.
Students in this region currently do not have the opportunity to further their education after middle school. When finished, the Pozo Azul School Campus will serve 150 students annually, creating educational opportunities for generations.
