Meet the principal
“My name is Santa, and I am the principal of the Las Américas Government Basic Education Center. The greatest challenges we face as an educational center are maintaining the school’s enrollment and quality of education, needing a better physical space, and learning to work together for the benefit of everyone in the community. We want to avoid absenteeism so the youth can achieve their academic goals.
We have gone through difficult situations, with some students who suffer from physical violence and verbal and sexual abuse. We receive support from the CEBLA administration and the DINAF Directorate of Children, Adolescents, and Family.
Through Sponsor a School, we hope that you will support us in improving the school’s physical structure, maintaining necessary resources such as electricity and a computer laboratory, and constructing another floor for the third cycle.”
–Principal Santa
