	Children in overcrowded classroom at Don Jose Godinez Elementary School in Jolo are happy to know they are not forgotten. Children and teachers at this impoverished school on the edge of a decades-long war zone is one of AAI's "small miracles." When AAI adopted Godinez Elementary in 2005 the overcrowded classrooms had no books. The school's more than 1,000 students and their parents -- whose average salary is $1 per day -- surprised AAI by waiting all day in the hot sun for an unplanned visit by Mr. Santoli. Today, Godinez Elementary is the Region's Number One academic performer in national testing, even though some classrooms are still bamboo shacks and lack lighting, sanitation and adequate study materials.
