School Buddies

In northern Mexico, the average citizen has an 8th-grade education level and the quality of that education is drastically lower than one received in the United States. The long-term success and happiness of the children in our care rely on the education that we can provide them.

We strive to provide stability to the children in our charge who often arrive at St Innocent with adverse childhood experiences. With our caring and dedicated staff, we foster positivity, patience and faith and provide a stable foundation to build for a successful future.

Primary School Buddies

Eight of our young minds currently attend elementary school and nothing exceeds the joy that can be seen on their small faces as they accomplish for the first time a task that once seemed impossible. Alejandro could not name the letters of the alphabet nor do simple addition problems last year. Now he proudly volunteers to read aloud and shares the solutions to multi-digit multiplication problems! 

Middle School Buddies

Middle school can be an awkward time filled with lots of growth, both physically and personally, but we are blessed with the opportunity to watch our seven middle school students grow and mature into young men. They are working on becoming more independent and responsible, and it is amazing to see their progress as they navigate friendships and get excited about new topics. 

High School Buddies

For our high school students, we choose schools that fit the needs and aspirations of each student. Five of our boys currently attend high school, three of whom will graduate this spring. Adrian hopes to study medicine after graduation. Meanwhile Brandon got straight A+s this last semester
