The state official was interviewed during the visit made yesterday to Monclova, wherein said at the beginning of this school year 64 new spaces were opened throughout the state. Jaime Rosales Lopez said that this will give a significant growth within colleges of Bachelors, where you are given the opportunity to study people who had the means to do so. The telebachillerato schools are placed in rural communities in the municipalities, where people sometimes do not have the resources to travel to a school, so leave their studies. With the implementation of this system gives the opportunity for people to prepare and have a better future. The state director did not specify the number of telebachillerato schools that were established in the Central Desert region, only mentioned some that were established in the ejido El Oro de Monclova, Brown Solitude, deer Cuatro Cienegas and Boquillas del Carmen.These telebachillerato schools started classes on August 10, reaching a total of 155 centers across the state, which represents a significant support for education in the state. "It's a new mode that takes rural communities where there was this service, with this educational offer is greatly expanded, this thanks to the great job of managing the Governor is a great strategic ally of COBAC for expansion" he said.

La Kiva Update: "It has been a long time since I posted an update and I have been waiting until I had something of importance to say. It seemed for a long time that I was simply posting to tell you all what had gone wrong or was delayed or what new disaster had befallen us. I am delighted to say that I not only have no bad news but I have some good news. La Kiva opened for the Viva Terlingua music festival running from August 20th through the 23rd. We enjoyed four days of fabulous music that was an absolute delight. During the festival we met an amazing number of wellwishers. Thank you all." photos and much more here:

Coffee-stained drawings, intriguing photographs, free-form paintings, funky junk sculpture, and exciting screen print designs were all a part of the First Annual Terlingua Art Camp. Students were selected from a juried show in January to participate in the camp, a brainchild of Shannon Carter to honor artist extraordinaire, Mark Kneeskern. For five days, there was a whirlwind of creative activity that culminated in a show open to the community. Sharing their talents at the camp were Bailey Baker, Luna Barrett, Juliette French, Shyla Garcia, Mark Krueger, and Tanya and Taylor Ohl. After the success of the camp, Mark’s spirit will continue to light up the eyes of these students and many more young artists as the future of the camp and other art activities are firmly planted in Terlingua’s future. Camp teacher, Crystal Allbright, was honored to lead the creativity with the assistance of Zoey Sexton, Buckner Cooke, Malynda Richardson and Mary Diesel. Many thanks to the local restaurants for providing lunches: Espresso...y Poco Mas, Starlight Theater, Chili Pepper Cafe, and High Sierra Bar and Grill. Huge gratitude to the Casa de la Cultura for providing a space to create, and much appreciation for the support from parents and community members. May the eYebALL be with you!
