Project Description

Country: Mexico

Location: Tijuana

Total Budget: $6,000

Area of Focus: Basic education and literacy

Activity Type: Education: General

Summary: Laptop computers for the Tijuana Scholars lab, a joint project of the Rotary Club of La Jolla and the Tijuana El Centro Rotary Club of Tijuana Mexico


The Tijuana Youth Scholars Lab, now in its 13th year of operation, financially assists, educates, and mentors exceptionally gifted teenagers from poor communities in Tijuana, Mexico. Directed and taught by Rotarians from both La Jolla and Tijuana, our mission is to break a poverty cycle that spans generations. In poor communities in Mexico, education past the sixth grade is a luxury. Our program enables students to finish high school and encourages them to go on to higher education. We have thirty(30) students who range in age from sixth graders to seniors in high school. Every Saturday, we teach our students both English and computer skills in classroom facilities rented by our club in Tijuana. There are four levels of English language instruction and each student does English language and computer work at computer stations throughout the classrooms. Classes take place via SKYPE and in person. Our goal is that our students will graduate high school and our program and will go on to become influential leadersfor positive growth and change in the greater society of Tijuana. We are requesting $3000 to purchase laptop computers and other technology needed to modernize our lab and enable our instruction to stay up to date
