| GATHERING CLOUDS - COSTCO PARKING LOT AT 7:30 IN THE MORNING |
White clouds and grey clouds gather in the mornings in anticipation of the rainy season, and later disperse. Air temperature is in the high 80´s, with humidity ranging between 60% and 70%. Water temperature in the bay is about 80 degrees farenheit and the manta rays and humans are enjoying it. Couples kiss beneath trees in the coolness of the isla Cuale. It´s unseasonably hot and humid.

| VOLCANES |
CLINIC IN VOLCANES: The clinic in Volcanes took place as the result of a FB message sent to Candace Shaw, board member
of PEACEAnimals. Megan Shelton, the young and very pretty teacher and director of Volcanes Community Education Project, offered the library as a location for a clinic. On
Monday, Leslie Caratachea and I met Megan in the parking lot of
Costco and followed her for a twenty-five minute, many-turns drive to the dusty, poor colonia of volcanes. Two buildings sit next to each other on a dirt hillside - Primaria Urbana 1170, the government school with approximately 300 students from grades one through six, and the former government school, which is now the Volcanes Community Education Project. / Several dogs were waiting outside the school´s fenced-in yard and there were more inside, including a large black and white dog with a broken leg and a sad looking blonde Cocker.  |

Public school days are split in half between morning and afternoon classes. Eighty to eighty-five percent of the public school students (plus a small number of adults) go to the Community Education after or before their regular classes. The Education Project was founded in 2011 with the intention of breaking the cycle of poverty and is funded by Rotary Clubs and various individuals. In addition to Megan, there are two other teachers who give courses in computer and English without charge. These classes are not offered at the public school. There are families so impoverished that children are sent to school in the mornings without having eaten breakfast and to the afternoon sessions without lunch.

Leslie gave her education presentation to the morning students at the government school, and on Wednesday, we were in the Education Project building for the first day of the free spay/neuter clinics. Irene of Puro Gato brought twelve 8-10 week-old beautiful kittens, all of whom will be available for adoption next week.

I asked several residents why this far away from everything neighborhood was given the name of "volcanes" ("volcanoes"). Shrugs of shoulders and shy smiles. No one knew. Later in the day, when I was taking a photograph of boys in the rocky dirt school playground, I noticed the pointy little hills behind it, and thought perhaps this was why the place had gotten its unlikely name.
