As we move forward in ministry, we continue to look for more opportunities to radically change the lives of these teenagers. One way we are currently doing that is through sponsoring the teens to ride the bus to and from school, purchase school uniforms and supplies, and attend public schools. However, as the public school system is becoming more corrupt, this is becoming a greater concern for us. The government often does not pay the teachers so they do not to show up at school to teach.
This is a problem.
Our idea for a solution:
We currently have five teens that will be moving on to high school at the beginning of the next school year (February 2012)--Dania, Fanny, Jennifer, Ariel and Luis. These five have continued to work hard and are all doing well in their classes. Because of their work ethic and the progress they have each shown, we are looking into sending them to a private Christian High School next year. The school is called La Escuela Gran Comisión (The Great Commission School), and is run by highly trained teachers and staff. They focus not only on providing the students with high-level education, but also on building good Christian character and values.

By giving these teens the opportunity to study in a private Christian school setting, we are hoping this will bring another radical change to their lives and their families. As they continue their education and eventually graduate, they will be able to go on and achieve more in their lives. This will enable them to become leaders in their families and a great example to others in their community.

Will you prayerfully consider partnering with us to give these teens an opportunity to study in a private Christian school? The cost will be about $100/month per teen.
