My Story…
My name is Laura, they call me Laurita at school, and I am 22 years old. Like Jesús and others, I came to EEESMA in 2012 when it first opened. I graduated from high school (preparatoria) along with two classmates in 2019. We were the first at our school to graduate and everyone, including myself and my family, were very proud. Today I am taking an on-line university degree in education so that one day I will be a teacher at EEESMA.
Thank you for helping us raise funds to purchase tablets for the younger students to help them better learn Spanish. They want to graduate one day too!
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.
