Las Becas

We didn´t have classes at the school today. Instead our classrooms were filled with the mothers, fathers, and grandparents of the children. They all attended to receive their scholarship money (una beca) that we provide to buy the required school supplies and clothes that the children need to attend public school.


One by one, our local director (on the far left) ----> called out the parents´ names. When called, they signed the money form, either in writing, or with their fingerprint (about half did not know how to sign their name), and then gratefully received their beca.



It was amazing to see the mothers´ eyes shine and you could see relief in their eyes.
