Want to Set Up a Reoccurring Donation?

Sponsor A Student

When you sponsor a student, you are lighting the fire that will ignite their curiosity for years to come. At Escuela, they are encouraged to learn from others and respect their playmates, two attributes that will contribute to their success in the future. Lupita tells us, “Since the start of the school year, I have seen a big change in how the students talk to me and their parents. There is huge difference in the level of respect they show.”

Example:

A recent supporter sponsored two siblings, Emma and Josue, for a total of six years. This brother and sister are now thriving in the local primaria, Damien Carmona.

Donate Your Time

The children greet all guests with huge smiles and hugs. If you love to read, they love to surround you and listen. One volunteer brought materials for an outdoor physical education activity and created relays and hula hoop contests. Another volunteer shared her love of birds. She brought pictures and books about local birds. How would you like to share your interests with our children?
