My Story…
Hi my name is Maricruz and I am 12 years old. My older brother, who is also Deaf, has been bringing me to EEESMA since I was 5. I like to help the younger children and plan to one day graduate from high school (preparatoria) so I may have a career. It was hard to be home everyday during Covid as I missed my friends. I am happy to finally be back at school.
Please cheer me and my #deafprideEEESMA team on as we walk to raise funds to purchase tablets for my classmates. Gracias!
Description
For ten years, AMISTAD CANADA (AC) has been working to improve the lives of Mexicans-in-need through health and education Projects delivered in partnership with twelve Mexican NGOs.
Projects include: mobile medical-dental service to remote communities; healthy school meals; underwriting medical care for sick and disabled children; supplemental classes in subjects such as literacy, computer skills, English and the arts; primary to post-secondary scholarships; a school for the Deaf; and a therapy centre for children with various disabilities.
AC participation in the Scotiabank Charity Challenge will provide Mexican-Canadians, and other runners who are attached to Mexico, an opportunity to support these initiatives.
