El Programa de Apoyo Escolar de Chuburná Puerto A.C.

Our Apoyo Program , The World School, from Boston Massachusetts,   Principal Sergio f rom the Secundaria School, and a local Contractor are partnering to provide children and adults in Chuburna with a Free Computer Centre  for school related studies only.   For us, our children and grandchildren, access to computers is a given.  However, for the students of Chuburna this is not the case. Unlike our experience, there is not a computer or two in every home.. Even students in high school have limited access to a few computers at the school and often must pay for time at local internet cafes.   Our Apoyo program now provides 3 donated computers and internet service at the library in Chuburna.  It is monitored by the librarian. However, the space is small and the library is open limited hours.  For several years we have been in conversation with the Principal of the Secundaria School,  Apoyo Director Marta and School Secretary Alina stand in front of  the space to be renovate

Hello everyone.    This Blog is about the 2nd Joyful Project we are able to undertake with the funds raised at this and last year's Fashion Shows.  As you know, the Apoyo Program matches sponsors with students. However,  we  will never be able to ensure every student has a sponsor.  Therefore, we  do something each year for the benefit of a broader group of children in the village.  EDUCACIÓN INICIAL ( the first education) This drop-in program is offered Mon, Wed, Thurs. and Fridays from 4:00 - 7:00.
