La Salud Tele Secundaria
This school is about only 3-4 km from Sanctuary "El Rosario." You can see it in the back of the group photo. The families of children of communities belonging to Ejido Ocampo, such as this school, mainly live from Forest Resource products. Besides making the children proud to be part of their place in protecting the monarch's migration the message of habitat conservation and Monarchs life cycle, impresses them and clearly encourages them to preserve the monarch's forest.

Most of the families' living income comes from their fathers and brothers working at the construction industry at big cities and nearest towns. Youngsters living in this community have no chance of direct employment for them or their parents at the Sanctuary of El Rosario.

The talk with students and the exchange about Monarchs generated so much excitement that I absolutely forgot to make more photos the moment students were working and their letters. They were making me crazy with questions and comments!

It should be remembered that in most schools, letters are delivered to students from 3rd—4th grades (8-9 years old) on, since children from lower grades are not able to write well yet, so letters would not be legible at all. Here, I visited 1st through 3rd grades.

As one of the pictures shows, I had to drive my faithful car, Rocinante, on one of the very narrow roads to reach this school!
