Thanks to your generosity, we are continuing to expand educational support for children and families in Los Encinitos and El Rodeito. This summer, we are excited to complete one of our largest school uniform initiatives yet. We are currently working on sewing 64 skirts for the girls’ school uniforms, and we will also be purchasing shirts for every child along with pants for the boys. For many families, these uniforms remove a major financial barrier to education and help students attend school with confidence, dignity, and pride. We expect to deliver all uniforms and clothing supplies during our summer visit, and we know the impact will be felt immediately as students prepare for the new school year.
We are also launching an exciting new literacy initiative in partnership with Cinco Books. Through this project, children will receive new books to encourage reading, learning, and imagination at home and in school. We are thrilled to share that the first book distribution is scheduled for Sunday, June 9. Access to books is often extremely limited in these communities, so even small home libraries can make a meaningful difference in literacy development and long-term educational opportunity.
None of this would be possible without the kindness and commitment of our donors. Your support is helping children gain not only school supplies and books, but also confidence, opportunity, and hope for the future. As these programs continue to grow, we invite you to remain part of this important work. Every contribution directly supports educational access and enrichment for children who deeply benefit from these opportunities. Thank you for continuing to walk alongside these communities and invest in their future.
