Robert and Frank--who discovered each other in Suchitoto running similar scholarship/loan programs--speak to a student about his options for further education. He is an 11th grader (black pants as opposed to khaki), which is the final year in the Salvadoran school system.
I tagged along with Robert Broz of El Rinconcito del Gringo to visit a school in Suchitoto's surrounding area. Robert provides great support for education in rural El Salvador, previously providing scholarships for students at all levels.
In the last year, tuition through high school finally became free for all students, which allowed Robert to focus on college loans. This afternoon he spoke to the 10th and 11th graders of this school about a college fair he's organized, encouraging them to come and learn more.
