Ich habe 533,32 € Spendengelder erhalten

Dear friends of Camino Seguro / Safe Passage,

Thank you so much for all your contributions.

Please read Ed's story to see what has been achieved thanks to your gifts and donations.

Meet Edinzon, a sixth-grade student. In his own words:

Edinzon at age 12
My name is Edinzon, I’m 12 years old, and I’m the sixth of eight siblings. My mom supports us by working in the garbage dump, mainly collecting plastic bottles to sell. One of my sisters also works inside the dump, and I’ve been a part of Safe Passage since I was 2 years old.

What I like the most about coming to school is Crew because we have fun while we learn. I use most of my energy during the Crew because we get to go outside and do fun activities that help us practice using our values, such as trust and leadership.

My favorite class is math because I like solving math problems. I like Expeditionary Learning because we don’t have too much homework – instead, we work together and learn through action. I think we get to learn more with EL because we have different teachers that are specialized in different subjects. I also like having different teachers because they all think and teach in a different way. My favorite teacher is Seño Yasmin because she is really patient and loving.

I’m proud of myself because now I’ve learned how to express myself in a better way. I’ve learned a lot here at school and I feel more confident about the things I say.

When I think about my community, what worries me the most is what happens inside the garbage dump. There have been many accidents there where people die, and I don’t want my mother and sister to be hurt in any way.

In the future, I want to be a lawyer so I can help other people. I’d like to come back to Safe Passage after I graduate and tell the other kids about my experience here and encourage them to follow their dreams.
