Summer Update on CP Project

Tucson, AZ

About Me: Hi I'm Coral and I graduated from Elon University in North Carolina in 2009. I majored in International Studies and Latin American Studies. I was able to study abroad 3 times but by far the largest influence in my life was the semester I spent in Costa Rica. I was able to attend the Clinton Foundation's Clinton Global Initiative university conference my junior year of college and I made a commitment to help improve access to education in Latin America and that's why connecting with Citizen Effect was the perfect way for me to work on my goals. In my free time I love photography, Latin Ballroom dancing, reading and scrapbooking. I recently moved to Tucson,AZ and am continuing my education work here working on projects helping Title I schools with their after school tutoring programs. I was also recently accepted into my graduate program to start very soon on my M.Ed. Last year I sold my photography from Latin America to support my first CP project in Ica City, Peru. I hope to continue this for the 2010 holiday season. Updates will soon be available for the photography as well. Thank you for your continued support of my CP projects, and I look forward with your help to continue impacting the lives of youth around Latin America!

In 2007, the impoverished district of Chincha Baja was devastated by a severe earthquake. Since, slow reconstruction efforts have left the district’s population without access to basic services and struggling to cope with worsened conditions. Coprodeli has begun work in Chincha Baja to develop an urban center that will improve the quality of life of its residents and provide its children with quality education at the San Pedro Education Center. This project will support the purchase and installation of a laptop and projector for a multimedia classroom in the San Pedro Education Center. By funding this equipment, this project will ensure that the center will be able to provide higher quality education services to 300 students and up-to-date resources to 12 teachers. Become the Citizen Philanthropist for this project and partner with the San Pedro Education Center to ensure its students and staff have access to the educational experiences and opportunities that will improve their lives.
