"Fresh Start" Scholarship Program 2023
This year, there were 200 students who qualified for a scholarship. With the funds received, we were able to purchase notebooks for each child and give them pesos to be able to purchase other items needed for school.
Our US team of Nancy Kaastad, Coral Fife , Sandra Sullivan & Ana Serra all from Washington State were able to go to Mexico in August to visit our teams and help with the scholarship distribution. Our US team remains volunteer and pays for their airfare & housing.
We want to thank our team in Mexico; Lupita Soto, & Juan Cortez Jr., for their help in organizing the distribution for us ahead of our coming in August. We enjoyed seeing our friends once again!
ECM T-Shirts
We were able to make T-shirts for our staff and workers in Mexico this year as a thank you for all of their volunteer work. Three ladies from May Valley Church in Renton, WA volunteered their resources & time to design & cut out the logo & press them
onto the shirts
Thank you Kari, Laura & Paula

Food & Donated Clothing Distribution
Because of the donations received to the general fund, we were able to continue providing food and donated clothing monthly to our
New Hope and Paradise Missions in 2023.
The families appreciate this help!
We accept donations any time
throughout the year
to help fund this food program.
