Hello Everyone:
We've missed you!! This past few months we've been working very hard to be able to offer more opportunities to young people in the low-income communities where our educational centers are located.
As we've shared with you, It's not enough young people can access technology: it's what they do with those tools that is important for us. Until now we have developed all kind of different courses depending on their needs. This is how in five years we've graduated more than 14,000 people from our computing, english and science courses. This educational experiencie has been very enriching for everyone!
But now, we know we have to take the next step. We asked ourselves: how can we help users, specially youth to have more opportunities in life? That's how we started developing a program in wich we want to attend 3 specific situations that young people have to face:
Luckly, institutions and people like you have trusted us. Thanks to Trust for the Americas and other donors, we are now offering 100% scholarships to young people in Toluca, Estado de México. We help them prepare a CV, an interview, and get in touch with local bussiness -employers, funds or universities.
We really want this program to be a success. Please help us spread the word and inspire youth to get away from organized crime and poverty, and believe in themselves and their dreams.
