What is the Mexican Schools Project

The people behind the project

It is a grass roots organization that assists rural Mexican communities in addressing their educational priorities.  We cooperate with local people to meet the basic needs of school-age children, Remodel existing schoolhouses, provide healthy school bathrooms and clean water supplies, Provide basic academic supplies and Promote self-determination through sustainable education.

How the Project Began

Upon arriving in Puerto Vallarta, Bob volunteered at a community bazaar organized by the owners of the River Cafe Restaurant, Margarito and Eva Larios, to raise money for Family Services Mexico.  Afterwards, the four met to discuss where they could donate the 175 pounds of school supplies that they had brought from Canada. Margarito and Eva connected them to DIF (Family Services Mexico), and to many of the small rural communities in Cabo Corrientes.
