Alas de mariposa hechas de cenizas
su polvo se asienta en mi cabello
sus pequeños y frágiles cuerpos bajo mis pies.
Tormentas, pesadillas fugitivas de mi mente
ahora me acarician al pasar
lenguas de fuego, derretidas, se esparcen
y queman mis pies, mis piernas
la brisa en mi cara no provee frescura
pero sí calor, de esos que existen
en las cavernas de los demonios.
Mis lágrimas son fuego en mis ojos
que poco a poco desaparecen.
— Maria Vargas Ovares, noveno grado

Our school is sustained by donations to our scholarship fund. Over one-third of our students are on financial aid. This year we have depleted our fund. With tuition going up for next year, we need to be prepared to support all families at the levels they need in order to continue to attend our school.
Your donations to our scholarship fund allow us to retain quality teachers, as well as to buy books and supplies. Monteverde Friends School is grateful to our broad base of donors who enable us to provide a high quality education to all eligible students regardless of their ability to pay.
If you are in need of a U.S. tax deduction, you can make a donation to Monteverde Friends U.S., and send it to:

YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TRULY DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
