Summer Student Update During Covid-19

Springtime is here, and we’re boilin’ in the B

Springtime is here, and we’re boilin’ in the Bluff City! Join us on Sunday, April 27 from 2-4 pm as we boil up some support for Project Apoyo right in the heart of Midtown Memphis! Mark your calendars and snag your tickets in our bio link.

Hosted by @mindbodyhaus this fundraising event will be fun for the entire family.
• All-you-can-eat crawfish
• Beer from @memphismadebrew
• Wine
• Desserts from @lucyjbakery
• Arts/Crafts activities for kids
• Live music
• PLUS, a community yoga class for the first 25 people to sign up.

All proceeds will go directly toward scholarships for students to learn English at a top-rated language institution. Just $41 a month provides everything a student needs to take courses and receive their language certification so the price of one adult ticket more than covers a month of expenses!

Thank you for your support. We can’t wait to see you there!

In 2022, teachers at La Escuela Chicamen were given a professional development using recent research showing how students most effectively learn phonics. 3 years later, teachers have trained other teachers and, the results are incredibly exciting. The school staff continues to grow and support one another using the materials they were provided and the concepts they were taught. We track the success of the program through the number of students who are learning to read, but the benefits of investing in teachers is truly immeasurable as they are now able to give a carry out a high-quality literacy program for the hundreds of students who walk through their doors throughout their professional career. The impact that Project Apoyo donors are making will be felt for many years to come.

Nailed it! 💅

10 participants recently completed a nail art course in our Entrepreneurship Program with @eftcfoundation. With a certificate in hand, these ladies, (including 4 moms!), can now take these skills to get a job in a salon or even open up their own shop! We love seeing your generosity in action as it helps open doors for talented entrepreneurs. Vamos!

A new teacher means a new trainee in our Teacher Training program and…NEW books!

Your generous donations continue to fund our blossoming literacy program at La Escuela Chicamen. We are able to provide engaging chapter books for older students and copies for the youngest readers to practice phonics skills (printed at Entrepreneurship Loan recipient, Cafe Luna!). Teachers use these books to put into action what they learn through our training program. We love seeing children’s eyes light up when book are opened. Thanks to you. Vamos!

⚡️ It’s Electric ⚡️

Please join us in congratulating the graduates of the most recent Entrepreneurship Program course! How cool is it to see a figurative lightbulb come on as you literally make a lightbulb come on? That’s what this program is all about. Opening minds and opening doors to what’s possible. These young men now have the needed skills to get a job and potentially own their own shop one day. Thanks to the @eftcfoundation for being amazing partners as always. Vamos!
