We may see as many as 25 to 30 children at La Escuela each day as they learn to read and do math at our computers, or learn the basics with our volunteers who play games, teach by flashcards and puzzles, etc. Most importantly, they receive an abundance of TLC from our amazing team of volunteers each day.
