You don’t have to look very far to make a significant difference in your world. Just look around you. Visit a local school and ask a teacher what the needs of her students are. She/he will often unequivocally say something along the lines as…”My students don’t come to school with the basic supplies to do their work. They need pencils, and paper. If you want to help our school and our students, this is how you can help.”
That we have done! With the help of so many caring individuals we have provided over 5000 local children and youth with backpacks filled with school supplies. This year we have launched a twitter [ www.twitter.com/espanolakids ] and Facebook [www.facebook.com/EspanolaKids]so you can stay updated on how together we are making a difference in our community. If you would like to contribute, please get in touch with me ASAP. at gotmentors@gmaildotcom. I would love to have you involved in our work.

Jesus may have said something like this in the 21st Century.
“I was in need of school supplies and you gave me a pencil and paper. I was the only one in my class room, who didn’t have crayons, and you gave me crayolas. Also, Thanks for the backpack to carry my heavy books.”
