Feature - The Pavarotti School - continued ......

      Because it was built as a training center, not a school, the classrooms in the Pavarotti school are small. There are only a hundred and eighty students in the school.
      Unlike the two big schools in San Lucas, the Pavarotti school is not subsidised.
      To help the school become self-financing, they have opened a small restaurant, overlooking the lake
     Hopefully, the income from that, and from "production" will enable them to continue the good work that they are doing.
