For children in Mexico.
Unlike the United States, children attending
public schools in Mexico are required to pay tuition/testing fees.
Many children in Nuevo Progreso, Mexico are in dire
need, resulting in Mercedes FUMC soliciting sponsors
to pay for the
school tuition for needy Mexican children.
It is so difficult for low income families, of which there are
many, to send their children to school. The children in Mexico
have to pay for everything... Tuition, testing, uniforms, text
books, school supplies, chalk, chalk board, (even an air
conditioning unit if they want a cool classroom),
and
yes, even toilet paper to go in the restrooms.
If you would like to assist a child with their elementary
education, a donation of $50., $100., $150. or any amount you can
give will help. We will give preference to the needs of children
attending El Buen Pastor School.
Donations of school supplies are always welcome. We especially
need new and gently used backpacks. We also accept
donations of...pencils,
colored pencils, large erasers, three subject notebooks, glue
sticks, small scissors, small pencil sharpeners, plastic boxes for
supplies, rulers, etc.
