Donations

General Fund. Your generous donation will be applied to most urgent current need of the
school. Matching grants may to available to double the value of your contribution.

Sponsor a child. Outfit a student for a year with a school uniform, shoes, backpack, and
class supplies with a donation of $62.USD.

School uniforms. Mexico requires students to wear school uniforms, an excellent idea that
helps blur the economic differences between children. Fewer than a quarter of Nueva
Creacion kids can afford them. You can provide a white shirt/blouse and blue pants/skirt
uniform, gym shorts/shirt and 3 pair of socks for $ 29.USD per student.

School shoes. Most of these children can only afford plastic flip-flops; some have no shoes
at all. Local folks have already funded 20 pairs. You can donate good quality school shoes
for only $10.USD a pair.

Student supplies. Spiral notebooks, pencils and sharpeners, erasers, ballpoint pens, rulers,
colored markers, school bags and other learning tools are all in woefully short supply. $23.
USD will outfit a child for a school year.

Teaching Materials. The teachers are currently trying to make do with just blackboards, a
few used books and very limited supplies. They need schoolbooks, charts, diagrams, more
chalkboards, vocabulary and math flashcards, and other vital teaching tools.

Art supplies. Construction paper, crayons, colored pens and markers, compasses, child
scissors, drawing paper, coloring books and craft kits will permit these kids to explore their
creative talents.

Athletic equipment. Recognizing the need to nourish young bodies as well as young minds,
we welcome funding for playground equipment, such as soccer balls, basketballs and nets.

Teacher fund. The six young teachers are currently trying to educate 152 children (this
number is growing) in grades one through six. Three are paid a modest $180 a month for this
demanding work. Donations to provide partial salaries for the three volunteer teachers are
desperately needed.

Building fund. In partnership with the city of Zihuatanejo, Rotary Club International and Por
Los Niños de Zihuatanejo, a fund has been established to build a safe permanent school on
land donated by the city.
