The University of Scranton Bridges to El Salvador program 1999-2009 would like to present you with a unique opportunity to make a difference! The children of Las Delicias, outside of San Salvador, live in a village of corrugated metal shacks without sanitation, potable water and suffer from related medical ailments. Most want to attend school but cannot afford the cost of basic school supplies, shoes and clothing because of the extreme poverty.
The SEED program has changed that!
SEED certificates purchased cover the school expenses for one year for a child in elementary ($50), middle school ($80) or high school ($300). Send checks (payable to University of Scranton/ SEED) to Marie Karam, O’Hara 308, University of Scranton, 800 Linden St., Scranton PA 18510. Please include or email karamm1@scranton.edu with gift recipients’ names which will be done in calligraphy on beautiful parchment SEED certificates.
Over the past four years we have sponsored all the children in this village of 600 families who wanted to attend elementary, middle and high school as well as several college students. This gift of education is truly changing the lives of these young people.
Thank you! You are making a difference in the lives of these children. Program coordinated by Marie Karam, Director, Bridges to El Salvador and Cristina Quintanilla, native of Las Delicias and graduate of the Jesuit Universidad Centroamericana (UCA) Sponsored by University of Scranton Bridges to El Salvador.
