Kim had the pleasure of visiting Advancing Students Forward in Tijuana, Mexico, and seeing the incredible work they do in person. The founder, Monica, takes in kids and pledges to support them through school until they graduate. She also showers them with love and care. This is a huge deal for many reasons.
The mission of Advancing Students Forward is to provide underserved students access to education and support for academic success so that they can create a promising future for themselves and for the community in which they live. ASF is a binational nonprofit, supporting students in Tijuana, Mexico and promoting cross cultural and educational exchanges between students on both sides of the border.
Why is there a need for ASF?
In Mexico 50% of students do not have the opportunity to continue their education beyond 6th grade. After 6th grade students are required to pay tuition and have the added costs of school uniforms, books and supplies. In addition, the number of schools is limited and many students are forced to travel outside of their community to find a school that has space for them. Transportation costs increase the financial burden and parents are hesitant to send their children alone on public transportation a significant distance away from home.
COSTA RICA MINIS
This series is inspired by the golden shores of Costa Rica. Each mini has a bit of sand from the beach embedded into the painting, gathered lovingly from the coastline itself. Each mini is created from the same essence that dances through Costa Rica. The vibrant and solidly energy that makes the land feel so alive, joyful, and deeply inspiring.
