About the school’s needs
Some time ago, the community of Armenia faced considerable challenges, such as violence and crime, which, thanks to the commitment of its inhabitants and the measures implemented by the government, have gradually improved.
However, they still face challenges in improving the academic quality of their schools and promoting positive values, to continue building a more prosperous community.
In addition, they highlight the need to achieve greater parental involvement and the dedication of quality time to the children and adolescents in the community.
Help give the children of the Centro Escolar Alberto Guerra Tigueros the future they deserve.

Meet the students
Fátima
“My name is Fatima, I am 15 years old and my dream is to study a career related to communications and explore the various branches of art. In my free time, I enjoy painting, reading, writing, practicing English, and participating in community volunteer activities.
Young people in our community face several challenges, such as the lack of values instilled at home, no career guidance, and the excessive and inappropriate use of technology.
My dream is for young people to discover their passions and for art and reading to be promoted from an early age, thus creating a more inclusive and respectful society.
As for my school, I would like to see a larger infrastructure adapted to the needs of each academic level, with separate spaces for recreational and educational activities, as well as improvements in our technology and reading areas”.
—Fátima, 15

Javier
“My name is Javier, I am 16 years old and I dream of being a figure of change in my community.
Since I was a child I have been looking for opportunities to grow and lead. I am passionate about cooking and strive to become a chef. I see many young people face similar challenges in our community, with few opportunities and little support.
My dream is for everyone to have access to opportunities for growth like I’ve had.
As for school, I envision a more technological and accessible environment where students can reach their full potential.”
—Javier, 16

Meet the principal
“I am Victor, the director of the Alberto Guerra Trigueros School Center. Our institution stands out for its commitment to academic excellence and the integral formation of young people. Here, we not only offer quality education, but also cultivate values such as responsibility, solidarity, and respect.
We have a team of committed teachers and a united school community that works hard to overcome obstacles and achieve goals.
However, we recognize that in our quest to provide a quality education and promote positive values among our students, the school faces significant challenges, such as improving academic quality and promoting strong discipline.
In addition, the lack of family support and the need for adequate resources are obstacles we must overcome to ensure student success”.
