Back to school...

Everybody is nervous for their return to school. They have to look sharp in their white shirts and blue pants!
Having to wear a uniform is a good thing, as it hides the difference between the richer kids and the poorer kids.
For some poorer families, it is hard though to get the money together for the uniforms and school supplies.
One set of clothes must last them a whole year. Thanks to you, guys, we have been able to get together a lot of cuadernas (notebooks), pens and other supplies so that it will be a lot easier to get the uniforms.

In some schools, many kids don't wear one, especially in the poorer neighborhoods on the outskirts of town. As long as they get their notebooks and pens, they are OK to take the classes!
Knowing that many children wouldn't have been able to attend school without your support, but can do now, is a great feeling. So thank you all for being part of their future!

Diego Manuel would like to thank everybody who helped him out with the burial of his mother and the Novena memorial service yesterday. They also remembered the deaths of his father and his wife, only a year ago.
He and his daughter Alondra will be attending school from tomorrow, like thousands of other students.
That is probably a good thing, as it takes their minds of all the problems and sad moments.
