In the area of P.V. known as Volcanes, family income is lower than most other parts of the city. Unlike other districts, Volcanes has VKEP.
In Mexico, only four out of ten kids finish high school.
The purpose of VKEP is to get kids “to go to school and stay in school.” And it’s working!!
- VKEP started in 2011. Now, due to the generosity of donors from Canada and the USA, more than 100 kids are receiving scholarships that allow them to “stay in school.”
- 30 students are enrolled in university, and 4 of them have graduated!!
- The money they receive from their sponsors to pay for uniforms, school supplies and tuition has been their biggest incentive to continue their education.
Now, VKEP students are finishing their education and returning to Volcanes as leaders and pillars of the community.
Community service is a fundamental part of VKEP’s educational philosophy. All students benefitting from the classes must help run the school. All of it – classrooms, gardens and bathrooms – is cleaned by students and/or their parents. Everyone is a team player!
