Sponsoring A Student
Since its creation, Student Sponsorships through Circle of Empowerment have made a great difference for the poorest of our poor, who are the focus of this important education program. Students sponsored through Circle of Empowerment receive not only the gift of an education, but also the materials it takes to be an engaged and successful student. The Nicaraguan school year runs from February to December, so our sponsorship periods run differently than the American school year. Just $125 a year provides a student with two school uniforms, shoes (often the child's only pair), a backpack, and school supplies. (Our costs have increased due to the increased school supply cost in Nicaragua.) The sponsorship cost also helps to offset the cost of classroom materials, such as tables, chairs, white boards, markers, and textbooks. In addition, transportation costs to and from the Saturday tutoring class on the Circle of Empowerment grounds is included, as is a stipend for the bus driver. Students in the Student Sponsorship program have a unique connection with their sponsor. Sponsors and students exchange letters, and a picture of the sponsored student will be provided, as well as updates. The relationships between each sponsor and student are unique- some sponsors are even lucky enough to visit their student in Nicaragua! |
