It´s now been raining for two days here in the desert. Trujillo needs the rain, but they are totally unprepared to deal with it. Drainage is poor, and the hard dry ground is unable to absorb the water. We find our classroom at San Martin de Porres flooded. About two inches of water covers the floor, and we have one bucket, one broom, and an old pair of shorts to clean it up. The children wait politely while we bail the water out of the room with the help of two mothers, who immediately pitch in. We are an hour late getting started.
One little boy is having great difficulty with the most basic concepts. I fear that he has a learning disability and won´t receive a proper education or the benefit of any special services. Is special education even a possibility in Pedro´s world?

I was just reading about the heavy rains and how they have damaged the Nacza lines. Is it still rainging where you are?
