What people say about us
From some parents of children in our programs -
- "My child is now more sure of himself and knows that he can succeed in whatever he tries."
- "This is a very good program because it promotes reading and brings families together."
- “You can not imagine how great the influence has been of your marvelous program on the life of my daughter. She now wants to be part of your group when she grows up, to do what you do… bring the excitement of the books to all the children who do not know how wonderful it is to enter the world of reading.”
From the children in our programs -
- “The truth is I didn’t read books before, but these books hooked me and I didn’t want to put them down.”
- “It was a beautiful experience that taught me not to fear losing or to give a wrong answer.”
- “I’m going to try to follow your example and strive to fulfill my goals.”
From a School Sponsor at the Copa Panchito Final
"I have to say that was the best $200 I ever spent. I got so much more out of it than I put in! The kids were great and their parents were so very nice to me. The event was spectacular - a really big deal for the kids. It was my first time seeing the color guard and the national anthem... Thanks for all your hard work and for getting me involved. I loved it!”
From one of the school principals in Rosarito Lee/Copa Panchito
"Thank you very much for the memorable experiences provided to our students. You, wonderful human beings, made it possible."
