In the morning of March 26, the Communidade Amigos de Jesus had a groundbreaking ceremony for their new school at the property beside the Jesuit Residence. The Portuguese Ambassador came since most of the money is coming from the Portuguese government. The Society bought the land and will retain ownership, giving Communidade Amigos de Jesus full use of the land without rent. It was a pleasant affair with singing and dancing with drums.
