The school buildings were built in partnership with the Federal and state government and in some cases aided by resources from several Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa city mayors, over the course of 15 years. The parents maintain the school, and the land it is on was permanently deeded for the Federal purpose of education.

Many visitors and volunteers have helped landscape and improve the site including international youth and adult service teams, and sailors and other friends from the Zihuatanejo charitable community, including in the past to Zihua SailFest. Over the years, more than 35 students received multi-year advanced education scholarships in Netza Club Tekuani Jaguar Club Leadership development program. Funding for year scholarships is also supported by private individuals, Grace Church of Bainbridge Island, Bainbridge Island Rotary and our Rotarian amigos in Canada.

Today , several of these students are proud college graduates 1 , many completed high school, and the all have the essential foundations to create better careers and family lives in their communities. Today, at 23, is he a proud top-achieving college graduate with an excellent job as a corporate accountant at the local Coca Cola distribution center in ZIH.

AN EXCITING NEXT CHAPTER.

The Netza Project, a US charitable corporation, did not manage or operate the school, however, is has been a valued local and international partner in helping create awareness of need, and to aid in partnership funding and careful custodianship of funds and resources that helped develop the school into one of the most improved schools in the region.

Dozens of US and Canada Rotary Clubs, several Rotary International grants, and hundreds of schools and private donors — from England to Alaska — have all been contributors to the success of this school, which today continues to serves several hundred children in primary school education, right in the heart of the community where they live. The Netza Project's mission is complete, now that the school is constructed and locally sustainable. Dozens of Netza primary school graduates have continued on into middle and high school, several into college: In October, , Marina opened a new local non-profit venture in Zihuatanejo, the Kalmekak learning center, where anyone, any age, can take free Nahuatl and Spanish language literacy classes.

Children come for after-school tutoring, and adults — mostly women — have access to literacy and other vital resources through Marina's tireless work as a translator and a community and social justice advocate. Tourists and international visitors are welcome to sit in on the classes, too! Forthcoming in is my book about the remarkable founder of The Netza School, the children, our many partners, and the risks and joys we encountered in seeking lasting change and support. Today I am finding the original Netza School students and reporting on their lives. The results are amazing and inspiring.

The reservoir and later construction of a federal highway has spurred ecotourism in the area. There is an overlook set up to get a panoramic view of the reservoir and surroundings. The average annual temperature is 25C. Construction of the dam began in with most completed by and final containment of the reservoir completed in Construction was undertaken in four main phases, with the river diverted through tunnels on both sides of its normal course.

The first stage built five tunnels as well as an access bridge on one side. In the second stage, the river was diverted into these tunnels by blocking its normal course to allow construction of the dam. In the third phase, the dam structure was built, finished in and the closing the tunnels was begun. In the last stage the final tunnels were closed and the reservoir completely sealed by the dam.

The resulting reservoir not only covered the rapids of this area of the Grijalva River, but also fresh water and thermal springs, rainforest, animal habitat, farmland, archeological sites and various towns and villages, with the most significant being Quechula. The Dominicans built a church here, the Temple of Santiago , starting in , which was submerged with the rest of the town after construction of the dam.

However, each year during the dry season, at least part of this structure reappears when water levels are low. Before the building of the dam, the area was surveyed by the Proyecto de Salvamento Arqueologico Archeological Salvage Project.

Its ball court is significant because it is double, with a nearly square space of eighty by sixty meters, bordered by the traditional sloped walls. In the center of the space is a division making two sub-courts.

Today this site is under the waters of the reservoir. The area is hot and humid with large quantities of rainfall which mostly comes in from the Gulf of Mexico through the state of Tabasco. These two dams serve as a means to control flooding of the river as it heads into Tabasco state, [19] but when reservoirs are dangerously full, it becomes necessary to release large quantities of water.

This most often occurs in late summer and fall, when rains are heaviest. Pressure fluctuations caused the stone slabs to detach from their anchor. Unusually heavy rain not only filled the dam to over capacity, flooding about towns around the area in The creation of the dam and later infrastructure projects has allowed for the development of an ecotourism industry in the area.

Most of the reservoir is within the El Ocote Biosphere Reserve , an area of tall growth rainforest. This is one of the most important in southern Mexico due to the size and biological diversity.

The Chiapas Bridge crosses over the Malpaso Dam reservoir and its part of a federal highway that connects southern Veracruz to Tuxtla Gutierrez. The decision to build the bridge was made in and the project lasted fourteen months with inauguration occurring in December The bridge stretches 1, meters over a section of the reservoir.

The bridge is ten meters wide, with eight supports, seven pillars or "jackets" and one strip of concrete fastened onto solid land. The upper part of the bridge is made of orthotropic materials with metal voussoirs which weigh 8, tons with an average weight of eight tons per meter. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
