The number of students in this situation has been significantly reduced over the previous year, from 49 to 17.

This is a figure that shows the progress in the normalization of the families affected by the earthquakes.

The Mayor of Lorca, Francisco Jodar, this morning signed a collaboration agreement between the municipality and the bank Caja Badajoz has agreed to collaborate with Lorca recovery by providing a very important service for school children who suffered in Lorca housing the consequences of earthquakes on May 11.

From Caja Badajoz have undertaken a fundraising campaign to help the victims of Lorca after the earthquake disaster.

Through this campaign now collected 17,500 euros to help bring Lorca.

The mayor has said his aim is to help to transport young students who were displaced from their usual homes to new homes as a result of earthquakes.

Thanks to this financial contribution, Lorca students who were displaced to Torre del Obispo and neighboring Puerto Lumbreras will have another year with free school transport that leads them to their regular schools.

Recall that this transmission line was fitted especially for displaced students, and last year was paid for by the Association May 11 "We Lorca".

Jódar Francisco said that "we believe that it is a service that must continue to give these neighbors so that children have all the facilities to move to its regular centers will assume without any financial cost to families who are suffering from the problem of being away from home. Yet we have to emphasize, which is good news, which last year were 49 students who used this service and they are now 17 young people (residents temporarily in the Esparragal (6 schools), Puerto Lumbreras (3) and Torre del Obispo (8). And I say that's good news because it is the best indicator for Lorca say that many have returned home. Still, while there are students who have this problem will have to keep putting all facilities to enable them to continue in their schools, with their same classmates and teachers themselves, that is, within the constraints faced can continue at least maintaining some normalcy in their studies.
