Planted in mid-May, the community and family gardens in Los Tehuistes are already producing vegetables in early July!

From March 25 to April 3rd this spring, 13 students and professors from Sheridan Community College in Sheridan, Wyoming made their way to La Paz, El Salvador. The students are a part of the TRIO program, a federally funded program designed to assist first generation college students, those with limited income or a disability that affects learning. They were led by Professor Joseph Aguirre and Rafael Jose Escoto, the brother of CdA’s founder, Blanca. The people of Los Tehuistes generously hosted the delegation, and we’re ecstatic to say that it was a success!

Meet CdA's scholars. Our CdA scholars are bright, energetic and extremely hardworking. For many of them, the opportunity to attend high school is a dream come true. Being the first in their family to attend high school and or attend college is something out of a fairytale. They are beating the odds. They are changing their community. They are today's young leaders.

CdA has been blessed for years with incredible, passionate members on our board of directors. We are now in the position to add to our board, and we would love to have you join our team!
