In a five-week effort, over 60 volunteers from Forevermark US and Diamonds International Honduras partnered to rebuild, improve, and expand a school for children in Roatán, Honduras.

“After witnessing the commitment Diamonds International continually provides to their community, we wanted to support their efforts as if they were in our own backyard,” said Michael Rousso, director of business development for Forevermark. “The vision and spirit of the community and volunteers coming together to build something lasting were so inspiring and we are proud to have been a part of it.”

In its original state, the schoolhouse required over 40 children in seven grades to share two small, rundown classrooms. With the work done by the volunteers, the school’s capacity has more than doubled and includes four new classrooms and a library for nearly 100 children.

“I am so thankful to Diamonds International and Forevermark for rebuilding our school,” said Señora Norma, school director at Escuela Luis Bogran and a driving force in the local community. “The parents and I will be forever grateful for the support we received when we needed it most.”
