La Casa de los Niņos

Who are the founders? We are two couples who live in Lo de Marcos and we wanted to do something for the community. We got together and wrote a brief program of our goals and strategies for reaching them, then began looking for aid from others who wanted to or could help. We received an immediate response from among the temporary Canadian and American residents of the community, many being retired teachers who offered to teach English classes.
