For those visitors who may have attended Escuela Anaco - it looks little different than it did when I attended classes there from 1962 to 1971.  Down to the cabinets inside the class rooms, the blackboards - everything! The benches in the picture above right came right out of the Union church which met in the old North Camp school.
