Maria del Carmen

Maria del Carmen

The community of Maria del Carmen used to be a big finca, or farm, which was owned by Mrs. Maria del Carmen. This community was founded in 1889 by three families that worked for Mrs. Maria del Carmen for 25 years.

In 2002, the Ministry of Education authorized the creation of the Insituto Mixto de Educacion Basica por Cooperativa and the middle school has been using the facilities of the elementary school ever since. In the last few years, the number of kids attending both the elementary and middle school has increased significantly and the kids are needing more room to help create a more productive learning environment.

In addition to creating a healthier learning environment, the community is also excited to clean-up their community of trash and teach Environmental Education to the community members.
