My Story…
Hi, my name is Jesús and I am 22 years old. I was one of the first to attend EEESMA. When I graduated from middle school (secundaria) a couple years ago, I decided to take a break from classes and work to earn money to help my mother. I learned wood working in EEESMA's Vocational Training Program and have been working for a local business making wooden puzzles. I have decided to come back to continue my education and am now enrolled in high school (preparatoria). My dream is to one day build a house of my own and to help other young deaf children learn sign language.
My #deafprideEEESMA team mates and I appreciate your help to raise funds to help purchase tablets for the younger students. Thank you!
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.
