Drummond Ltd. is contributing to the strengthening of education in the La Aurora district through the completion of restoration and improvement work on the infrastructure of the La Aurora Educational Institution. The project includes the renovation of 13 existing classrooms and the reactivation of spaces that had remained unused for approximately 14 years.
“Beyond the financial investment or the physical infrastructure, the true value of this project lies in the people. Today, students have suitable facilities for their learning experience, teachers have an appropriate environment in which to carry out their work, and the entire community now has access to robust, well-equipped educational infrastructure that will serve them for more than 30 years,” remarked Yilda Pineda García, Senior Supervisor of Community and Government Relations at Drummond Ltd.
The initiative, 100% funded by Drummond Ltd. in coordination with the Municipal Mayor’s Office of
Chiriguaná, was aimed at restoring the physical and functional conditions of the educational institution, with
the goal of providing better spaces for academic activities.
“I would like to thank Drummond, as there has truly been a genuine synergy. When you invest in education,
you are investing in what matters most: knowledge. And when you invest in knowledge, you are investing in
future generations—in upstanding men and women who will go on to serve society,” stated Juan Carlos García Mejía, Mayor of Chiriguaná..
One of the key outcomes was the rehabilitation of the main building—a two-story structure built in 2012 that had never been put into service because construction was left unfinished, rendering it unsuitable for use. The project enabled the creation of three educational spaces: a multi-purpose classroom on the first floor and two standard
classrooms on the second floor.
Additionally, improvements were made to 13 existing classrooms, including work on roofs,electrical systems, ceilings, windows, walls, finishes, and circulation areas, all of which helped optimize the conditions of these school environments.
“They haven’t just established a space; this holds great significance for the educational community. For over 14 years, it was truly disheartening that these facilities couldn’t be used by the children. Today, a dream has become a reality,” said Nubis Tejeda Ochoa, principal of the La Aurora educational institution.
Through this project, more than 450 students and teachers now benefit from renovated spaces that support the teaching and learning process. This initiative is part of Drummond Ltd.’s commitment to strengthening education and fostering the well-being of communities within its area of influence.
