Description: Bernardino is a small rural public school that has only kindergarten and elementary grades.   The school is located in Pajas Blancas, a small community located 25 km (roughly a 40 minute bus ride) northwest of Cordoba city and close to the small Sierras. The town cannot afford a high school so this is the children's only certain opportunity for education.   The 130 children of Bernardino range in age from 5 to 12 years and come from the rural communities and poor areas of Cordoba's outskirts. Since they have only three available classrooms they are divided in two shifts: morning (for higher grades) and afternoon (for lower grades). The school serves a daily lunch for all of the students at the same time between these shifts.
