Help us build for the future by finishing our new structure at La Catalina Foundation! We have been operating for 13 years without our own office space. Now it is needed badly! Our staff has been growing to support the management of 60 youth in our scholarship program, plus all of the afterschool and summer activities.
The construction of the office space is 4 weeks underway! But materials and an estimated 3 more weeks of labor are needed to finish the new module.
WE NEED YOUR HELP! You can donate for labor or materials to complete the following:
• Exterior stucco • Roof • Doors and windows • Interior • Utilities
If you are in town, stop by La Catalina Foundation located at Playa Dorada #199 and check out the project in person.
Questions? Phone Julie at 315-109-4173
Mil gracias!

Hi, my name Alberto Espinosa, I´m an Industrial Designer and I work as a design software teacher and Homework Club Coordinator at La Catalina Foundation. I have a strong commitment to my town because I grew up in La Manzanilla and most of my family is from here. I want to help my community sharing my knowledge with the youth of my town, that´s why a became part of La Catalina and their effort to educate and improve the lives of students, giving them quality learning and opening their minds to new possibilities in their lives and make them have values and principles.
My intention with this message is to invite anyone that can help us build a new office, because where I´m giving my class is where the office is, that make´s it complicated to teach the students in a shared space. La Catalina new office building will provide a convenient accommodation for the administration personnel and the computer classroom will be just for teaching computer classes.
Thank you for your support! The youth of La Manzanilla will appreciate it forever.
Thank you for your help...
