My Story…
Hi, my name is Miguelito. I am 11 years old and have been deaf since I was three when I became seriously ill. A wonderful group of caring people knew about EEESMA and brought me here to learn Mexican Sign Language. I love school. This year I start middle school (secundaria) with many of my friends including Maricruz who is also my #deafprideEEESMA team mate.
We hope to raise enough funds to purchase tablets for the students at school. Thank you for your help!
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.
