In 2023 we started a Higher Education Program to help two of our students who were graduating from high school. Here they are with their diplomas: Ciara Diamar Hernandez Hernandez and Cielo de Jesus Gonzales Canul.
Both of them wanted to become teachers. We asked their sponsors if they wanted to continue providing support to their students and they said “YES!” And so the Progreso Apoyo Higher Education Program was born!
In 2024, 21 of our students graduated from high school and we are pleased to report that 17 of these students are continuing their education with the help of their sponsor or new sponsors who joined our program to help our students. They are studying to be lawyers, engineers, accountants, nurses and other careers!
For the 2025 school year, 26 of our students will be graduating high school and almost all of them will be going to college. We are actively looking for new sponsors interested in helping some of these students continue their education.
