A Message, From The President

With the 2023-2024 school year, we enter our 15th year of helping the students in El Vaquero, Mexico continue their education beyond 6th grade.  The results we are now seeing from helping these wonderful people are beyond anything I could have imagined in 2008.  A few years ago, as the result of our sending so many students to the closest city to attend high school, the government took notice and authorized a new high school co-located with our middle school.  In 2018 we had our first graduating class from that new high school and Build a Dream received very special recognition at a truly magical graduation ceremony. This year we plan to build a new high school separate from the middle school.

            What has happened with those 1st students we helped?  Ten have now graduated from college and have employment as well as now helping others in their community.  We now have a total of twenty students in college.   How many charities raise the children out of poverty enabling them to support themselves, all the while guaranteeing that 100% of donations actually go to help those families?  All overhead costs are covered by our staff and volunteers. Thank you and God bless you my friends!  Your loving contributions are truly changing lives and making dreams come true!
