Help Deaf Kids in Mexico Learn Computer Skills

All of us at EEESMA School for the Deaf extend our heartfelt thanks for the invaluable support you have shown throughout the last year; be it financial support or moral support.

This is the time of the year when we most often reflect on past accomplishments and begin the process of making plans for the future. Your support has allowed the school to continue its journey to bring the best education possible to children who are Deaf in San Miguel de Allende.

Teacher training was a big priority in 2024 and the positive results are reflected in the minds and hearts of the children themselves. They love being at school, have a thirst for knowledge and work hard to advance. This is the recipe for their future success. With seven adolescents now enrolled in high school (preparatoria) and 14 young ones enrolled in primary class, along with other children in middle school, our numbers have increased substantially. Besides academic classes, the students enjoy karate, chess, theatre and volleyball. Most notably computer skills are front and center and incorporated into most classes. Your support has created a huge impact, one that we can all be proud of.

2025 holds more promise than ever before. We look for ways to become more sustainable, improve the curriculum and broaden our reach. With one teacher and three teachers’ assistants who are Deaf themselves, creating great role models for the younger ones, we are confident of a bright future ahead.

Thank you for the important role you have played in making this happen.

Wishing you joy, love and peace this holiday season.

With sincere appreciation,

John and Sharon Doherty, on behalf of

the Students, Teachers, Staff and Board of Directors

In August, EEESMA hosted its second annual summer camp, where 20 children, including both EEESMA students and others, gathered to sharpen their robotics and computer skills during their school break. The camp's mission was not only to elevate each student's technical abilities but to ensure they enjoyed every moment of the learning experience.

We are excited to share the incredible achievements of our brilliant students through photographs of their robotics, programming activities, and other innovative projects. As the saying goes, "A picture is worth a thousand words," and these images capture the passion and creativity that defined the week.

It was an action-packed, engaging week, brimming with hands-on learning and teamwork. The excitement peaked as everyone saw the final results of their hard work. A heartfelt thank you goes out to our dedicated staff, whose tireless efforts made this fantastic week possible!
