La Biblioteca de San Miguel, the second largest bilingual library in Mexico, has served the community of San Miguel for more than 50 years. Aside from its holdings of more than 60,000 volumes in Spanish, English, German or French and its many lecture, film and theater events, the library grants scholarships to young students and offers cultural activities.
In just three years, CPJ has installed more 1,000 pieces of donated equipment in over 100 sites. Volunteers recondition the equipment, place it, help recipients learn how to use it, and provide ongoing support. CPJ provides equipment to: schools serving kindergarten through grade 8, mostly in rural areas, kids with physical or mental limitations that make regular school attendance difficult or impossible, and university scholarship recipients from poor families. The hardware is critical, the software is important, but the key to this effort is the ongoing hands-on coaching by mentors. Most Jovenes Adelante students have received working computers from CPJ. If you have a computer to donate, please email ComputersForSchoolKids@gmail.com
