Sponsor a Student
Our Work/Study program commits our students to a minimum 15 hours per week. This, in addition to their school classes, often means they have very few hours in which to earn living expenses. The Oaxaca Learning Center has created a special fund in order to assist these students with a stipend to ease their financial burden.
If you wish to support this program specifically, please identify your donation as being for the Work/Study program.

When Bob Haas read about Wilberth’s plight, he volunteered to help.
“How could you not do this,” he said, “when you realize what he has already accomplished?”
Wilberth and Bob Haas, a retired principal and school teacher from San Francisco, met for the first time on a recent afternoon at the Oaxaca Lending Library, where Bob volunteers every Monday morning.
In addition to paying for books and other necessary materials, Bob will be providing Wilberth with a monthly stipend of $2,880 pesos to meet his expenses.
“Now it’s up to me,” Wilberth said as he stood up to shake hands with his sponsor and new friend, Bob Haas. |
