PR promises to help get partnerships for the maintenance of the Escola de Nossa Sra. do Monte.

The President of the Republic, José Maria Neves, promised to support in the search for partnerships for the rehabilitation of Grouping School 2, in Nossa Sra. do Monte, a historic building from colonial times.

The Head of State received a warm welcome from the school's students and teachers, and took the opportunity to hand over a donation of school books to benefit the approximately 300 children of that school.

Neves was very pleased with what he saw and heard, including the implementation of a botanical garden in the backyard and surroundings of the school.

The project, in partnership with the Biflores Association, encourages the planting and preservation of endemic and Cape Verdean plants, as explained by Biflores biologist, Dilma Lopes. This includes, in addition to 33 endemic species, the planting of vegetables that serve to reinforce the school students' meals.

PR praises the commitment and delivery of students and teachers and encourages other schools to promote similar experiences.
