Escuelita is a a non-profit entitiy and a community project and we need your help. Please consider donations of time, materials, and money. Here’s how you can help:

• Make a Financial Contribution ! Financial donations are greatly appreciated and needed to pay for transportation of kids during the summer camp, for the purchase of art supplies and sports equipment and for the theatrical production. See below.

• Sponsor A Child ! Buy a passport—or 20—and offer summer camp to local children. Starting in early December individuals and businesses are invited to purchase “passports” at US$ 10 each to help underwrite the expenses of producing escuelita, which is run by volunteers and made possible by generous individuals and businesses. Those who purchase passports can either donate them to escuelita to give as scholarships, or give them to their employees and friends who have children. They make great Christmas presents!

• Volunteer your time ! Help out during the summer camp, supervising the children, preparing healthy snacks, organising supplies, etc...There is lots to do !!!

• Donate arts & crafts and Sports materials !

• Share your passion ! Share a project, activity or idea with the children of escuelita. If you would like to come and talk about your career to the older children, contact us! This is an opportunity to inspire kids to think beyond junior high school and an incredible way for you to give back to the community.

• Save Your Junk ! We are collecting recyclable materials for use in art projects. You can help us by saving now items such as the pop-tops on soda and beer cans, scraps of material or old clothes, bottle caps, large and small plastic bottles, large dog food bags (i.e., Ascan), big woven rice bags, toilet paper rings, etc.
