Coats and Shoes for the Residents of Rancho Nuevo As of 2011, all residents of the remote Rancho Nuevo village near Cuquio, Jalisco have a functional pair of shoes appropriate for high mountain living on uneven terrain, and a jacket or coat with which to withstand the freezing winter temperatures characteristic of the high mountains. Coats were distributed in April 2011 during one of the hottest times of the year. It didn’t seem to matter to many of the children and some adults, they were so happy to own a coat that they insisted on wearing the coat anyway! In addition, the municipal government provided funds for the improvement of the road that extends from Cuquio to Rancho Nuevo. The improvement has benefitted Rancho Nuevo and other village residents by providing them easier access to the town of Cuquio. Additionally, the municipal government of Cuquio has built a junior high school in the village of El Terrero; within walking distance from the village of Los Sauces de Perez. In sum, in 2011, the children of two more impoverished villages now have access to education beyond elementary school and all school supplies to achieve academic success.
