Balcony finish carpentry

 Maestro Victor and his crew have been helping me get the facade of our house in Sauce moved along towards completion.  The next step will be to install bug-proof screening which will make both balconies pleasant places to hang out in a hammock. I plan to put a horizontal wire on the facade to see if I can get the bougainvillea to grow along it.

 I have also been working on getting a second guest bedroom completed.  Stay tuned for upcoming photos of that.

Please help us raise funds for 2017

Dear friends, family and past volunteers,

Please consider making a donation to Estrella de Sauce as we begin our year with 'Vacacciones Utiles' (holiday camp) for 120 children in three communities.

We are also about to resume our weekly get-togethers for 26 senior citizens, classes for 60 children in different age groups and classes including medical help for twelve handicapped children and youth.

Estrella de Sauce can be seen as a pilot program demonstrating a new way to offer Waldorf alternative education to families way down the economic totem pole at little or no cost.

Our long term objective is to finish our cafe and bed and breakfast hostal so that it can produce funds to support our educational and social programs within the community of Sauce, but we are in need of extra funds to push this forward towards completion, also to maintain and upgrade our Estrella de Sauce facility and our Estrella del Lago sailing catamaran.

We have kicked off a crowdfunding campaign at:

thanks in advance for your help and you are always welcome to come and visit

Martin and Lourdes
