Who We Are:
We are on a mission to break the cycle of poverty by providing education opportunities to children in need.
Our Mission
We are on a mission to give students an opportunity to break out of the cycle of poverty through education.
โ
Young people want the chance to get out of the farms and fields of Baja California. They want to learn. We help make it possible. Instead of a childhood of dawn-to-dark labor, children get scholarships to finish grade school, attend high school, and even earn a university degree.
โ
A few dollars are all that stand between a childhood spent as a field worker and a future in a trade or profession of their choice. If a family can't afford fees, pay for expensive school uniforms, or even buy pencils and paper, then the children in that family can't go to school. It's just that simple.
Happy birthday Karen!!!

Quinceaรฑeras at the Colonia Oaxaca ๐๐๐
Last night, @teachingamor and friends helped teenagers and adult women celebrate a 15 years party, known as Quinceaรฑeras in Mexico.
The tradition is engraved in the Mexican culture. Girls dream of this night. There are a lot of telenovelas and TV series about Quinceaรฑeras parties. It is a day to remember.
Not everyone gets the chance to celebrate. We just couldn't stand that. Teaching Amor organized a Quinceaรฑera for women who unfortunately missed their party due to life's detours.
Thank you to everyone involved in this magical night. Last night certainly will be a night to remember.
