Scholarship Awarded to Ceci
Cecilia ("Ceci") Rodríguez, student and helper at La Casa de los Niños, has just received word that she is the recipient of a full
scholarship to the Escuela Nacional de Agricultura de Chapingo in the state of Mexico.
In addition to basic tuition, the scholarship pays room, board and expenses while she attends the prestigious institute, considered to be one of the best schools in the
nation. The scholarship also will cover the cost of Ceci's future university studies.
Ceci was awarded the scholarship based on the results of a nationwide exam, financial need, demonstrated leadership and academic excellence.
Many congratulations from all of us, Ceci!

A Special Thanks
We would like to send a very special and heartfelt thanks to Susan Middleton Elya, the well-known children's books author, who sent signed copies of her wonderful books to the children at
La Casa de los Niños.
The stories are so cheerful, the illustrations so beautiful, and the kids really enjoy reading the books and learning from them. We could not have received a nicer gift! Some of the books written by
Susan are the Say Hola in Spanish series, Eight Animals On The Town, Eight Animals Bake a Cake, Eight Animals Play Ball, Oh No, Gotta Go!, Bebé Goes Shopping,
Sophie's Trophy, Cowboy José and F is for Fiesta. Thank you so much, Susan!
