Many communities in Puerto Rico continue to suffer the effects of Hurricane Maria and a wave of school closures in 2017. In 2020, Javier Valedon and his organization ID Shaliah, along with the Karma Honey Project, began renovating a vacant school into a community center for the residents of Cubuy-Lomas. The goal of our project was to facilitate our sponsors' missions by improving visibility of the center, expanding the center’s outreach network, documenting the vision for the center, and assembling a library of resources for this project and others like it. We have created tools for our sponsors and future WPI teams to continue to approach funding strategies and networking with similar community centers in Puerto Rico.
