ADE's Work in Costa Rica

This summer, I'll be working with an organization called the Association for Development through Education (ADE).  Here is a bit of information about some of the work that it's doing, taken from its website.

A new school:
"On February 10, 2010, a 7th-11th grade school was opened for students from San Rafael and the surrounding communities. A census taken by ADE indicates a 90% dropout rate after 6th grade for members of the region. ADE’s intention is to offer a high-quality, bilingual education so more students choose to continue their education and develop into community leaders."
