Teach kindergarten through grade 6 in a school situated on a lush mountainside in the jungle. The school currently has 65 students in grades 1-6 and 18 students in kindergarten.

Some of the children attending this school walk two hours each way on slippery trails in extreme heat every day just to have the opportunity to get an education. Most of these children live in remote, isolated areas and face extreme poverty. The families rely mostly on their crops and when the crops do poorly, most struggle to find food. Jungle School provides a lunch each day for the students and for some it is their only meal of the day.
