SUCCESS STORIES

My name is Karla

My name is Karla, I am currently studying at the Colegio de Ciencias y Humanidades Plantel Sur, where I am part of the representative team of women's soccer.

I joined A Favor del Niño when I was three years old. I attended Preschool and Elementary school and I took part of the 12-15 Workshop for two and a half years.

My Experience at A Favor del Niño

I attended this institution from Preschool to Young Leadership. Every day, I stayed at the facilities from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The school provided us with food throughout those hours (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) and after our regular classes we had extracurricular activities.
