Lucía

HELP US SPONSOR A CHILD’S EDUCATION

Meet Lucia Arroyo Azofeifa. Lucia is a three-year-old Head Start student who lives in Tambor with her sister and her father Jimmy Arroyo and mother Yancy Azofeifa Alvarado. Lucia witnessed her older sister Mariana attend our Head Start program and was always eager to join the program herself, every morning she kept begging her mom to let her go too. Last year she attended our Tambor Kid’s Garden and now she is ready to continue with Tambor Bay School for her Head Start II program. What you see is what you get with Lucia, she is full of energy and is a very loving kid. Even at her short age she is very grateful about the opportunity she has been given.

Lucia will be able to continue a more in-depth, personalized education at the new Tambor Bay School than in the public education system. Sponsoring her learning experience for one month costs US $75; making her private education possible for an entire year costs US $825. Full or partial scholarships are welcome.

Tambor is a rural area with very low income per family, undeveloped and somewhat isolated. A small group of multinational and local parents has started a non-profit to create the Tambor Bay School, which seeks to improve the quality of educational opportunities for all children here, regardless of their social class or economic status. Thanks to a generous donation from the Hotel Tambor Tropical and a combined effort among parents, Tambor Bay School will open its doors in March 2010.

If you would like to help Lucia receive an excellent education that will lead to many promising opportunities for her future, please call or e-mail Tambor Bay School at (506) 2683-0370 or tamborbayschool@gmail.com or contact her parents at 2683-0083 or jimyamalu@yahoo.com
