Thanks to an SLA-SD donation of $200, the La Roca Library in Tijuana is
outfitted with needed supplies to help make it through the rest of this academic
year.
The library serves impoverished youngsters attending the La Roca Primary School as well as young people and their moms living at the La Roca shelter for homeless and abandoned single-parent families.
Through an RE Cares grant, librarian Maria Luisa Mendez Lozada (standing at the left in the photo) is staffing the La Roca Library this academic year and delivering library services to La Roca young people and adults. Generous donations, such as the one from SLA-SD, have helped stretch the grant dollars and are much appreciated.
The SLA-SD donation has purchased supplies needed to help keep the library in good shape. This photo shows Maria Luisa and La Roca kids happily receiving the supplies. (Photo courtesy of George Perez, a Corazon de Vida staff member.)
Maria Luisa and youngsters who rely on the library have sent a big "Thank you!" to SLA-SD.
