GOCM Tijuana School Program 2022 UPDATE
The schools reopened March of 2022. Due to the 2020 to 2022 COVID Pandemic, schools in Tijuana were doing long distance learningThis was very difficult in an area where many do not have computers, tablets or internet. Most families used their cell phones to receive the lessons. Young children fell behind with this type of learning. The high schools and universities are open with different schedules.
Several students graduated from high school.
We had one student graduate at the Calvary Chapel Bible College in Ensenada in June 2022.
One student studying Criminology at a university in Tijuana
Grace of Calvary Ministries provided school supplies to 150 kids who are doing long distance learning. We also provided uniforms for high school students. A healthy brunch is provided in two neighborhoods.
March 2022: We purchased the basic uniform for the kids - blouse or shirt and skirt or pants. In August we will purchase full uniforms.
Jeremiah 29:11 For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord,
plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.
Thank you from our hearts for your faithful and generous support of this ministry and the GOCM TIJUANA SCHOOL PROGRAM! YOU are changing the cycle of poverty in these children and helping them to know Jesus!
THE HEART OF OUR EDUCATION MINISTRY FOR THE LAST 3+ YEARS HAS BEEN OUR HOMEWORK/TUTORING CLUBS (CALLED
