MARCH NEWS

    Fundación Ayuda Niños La Paz, A.C. is preparing for school year 2009-2010.  Funds collected by the end of April will determine how many students we can support with the purchase of uniforms, gym clothes, shoes, tennis shoes, backpack and school supplies, and by covering public transportation costs to and from school.
    Barb Conley, Joan Grooms, Phyllis Patton, Cathy Winn, Elia Redfield, Margaret Brindle and Carmelita Dodge from the American/Canadian boating/landlubber community are teaching English to the 5th and 6th graders at the grade school Gustavo Diaz Ordaz in Colonia Marquez de Leon, where FANLAP has worked the last 13 years.  Barb and her crew would like to see all the 6th graders who qualify for our scholarship program to be included.
    To accomplish this goal the following events are being held this month to benefit the Children of La Paz:
    March 20:  at Restaurant La Costa (Encinas y Topete), music by The Barking
                              Dogs to help send the 6th graders to school.  100 % of the ticket sales
                              will benefit the FANLAP middle school students.
    March 22:  a booth at the Festival de Arte at Marina Palmira where art items and
                               home baked goods will be sold; 100 % of the profits to go to the                                                                        
                               students.
    March 22:  Guitar and Violin concert at Teatro Juarez; 15% of ticket sales will
                               benefit FANLAP’s scholarship program.  Tickets will be sold at Club
                               Cruceros on Tuesday and Thursday at the coffee hour. 
March 26:  a paella dinner/Flamenco show at Galeria Pax, Guillermo Prieto               
                               between 5 de Mayo and Constitucion,  Tickets are 200 pesos and 50% 
                               of the ticket sales will benefit the scholarship program.  Tickets will                                                                                                              
                               be sold at Club Cruceros Tuesday and Thursday at the coffee hour.
                               
    The “matching funds” drive up to $4000, headed up by Judy on Cactus has reached its goal, but you are still welcome to make a donation.  Please visit our website at www.lapazninos.org or Club Cruceros website at www.clubcruceros.org  to see how to make an online donation through International Community Foundation in San Diego.  Or bring your cash donation to Mary’s attention at Marina de La Paz or to Vicki at Club Cruceros’ clubhouse at the same marina.
    Thank you to all who have helped us send these deserving kids to school.

Subasta 2008

On behalf of the Children of La Paz, we would like to thank everyone who helped to make Subasta 2008 a success. This year over 90,000 pesos was netted, and checks for over 2000 USD were sent to International Community Foundation on behalf of the Children of La Paz. Subasta 2008 Photos Here!SubastaCollage 2008

This year the funds will be used for our scholarship fund to send children to school past the sixth grade. Fundación Ayuda Niños La Paz, A.C., was founded so we could have a legal entity to help children of impoverished families continue their education. In 2000 two students were sponsored by Club Cruceros de La Paz, and three were sponsored by the foundation. This program has grown until, for school year 2008 2009, we purchased school supplies, uniforms, school shoes and paid transportation costs for over 200 students to junior and senior school and higher education.

comedorOur News Letter and Annual Report are online, so you can read about our successes in 2008. Please go to www.lapazninos.org, click News and click Annual Report 2008.

If you would like to make a donation to help a child continue his/her education, the instructions are online.

If you are in La Paz, please see Vicki in the clubhouse or Mary at Marina de La Paz.

We thank you for whatever you are able to give.

Subasta 2007 occured on December 2, 2007
The proceeds of this event are used for supporting the programs sponsored by .Club Cruceros de La Paz, A.C., and Fundación Ayuda Niños La Paz, A.C. These programs include serving 32,000 breakfasts and meals during the scholastic year to children of  Colonias Márquez de León, Laguna Azul y Villas de Guadalupe . These meals are served in the facilities of the Church San Jose Obrero (breakfasts) and in the  Centro Comunitario de Laguna Azul (lunches), with the ladies of the Colonias doing the work of kitchen and cleaning. In addition scholarships, including scholastic uniforms, shoes and equipment are provided, along with transportation for these children in the  Colonias.  More photos here

Subasta 2006 at Marina de La Paz

Fundación Ayuda Niños La Paz, A.C., (FANLAP) would like to thank all those who participated this year in Subasta; all your work made the event a true success.  We’d like to inform you where the Subasta pesos are expected to go this year.
On the 14th of December, 2006 we deposited 117,000 pesos into the FANLAP bank account; more will be forthcoming once the bookkeeping is completed.  In addition donations were made to International Community Foundation in San Diego to benefit the Children of La Paz.
These funds will be used mainly for the lunch program in Colonia Laguna Azul.  In this lunchroom 130-150 children are served a hot lunch 5 days a week during the school year.  We receive donations of rice, beans, oil, other staples, from DIF (the family development part of the government) and from Fundación Best, A.C.  We purchase fruit, vegetables, meat, chicken, eggs – whatever necessary to make a balanced meal.  The work of food preparation, serving the children, and cleanup is done by some of the women of the community.  The cost to FANLAP is approximately 10,000 pesos a month for the groceries purchased at CCC at a discounted price.
In the past Subasta moneys have been used for medications for children of low-income families, as well as scholarships for junior and senior high school.  We expect to do the same this year.
FANLAP is waiting for the lunchroom property to be deeded to the foundation.  Once this happens, we will continue our plans for a library-study center on the property.
2007 promises to be a year full of progress for the less fortunate children on the outskirts of La Paz.  We are grateful for the hard work of members of Club Cruceros who have helped to make our vision come true.
