What We Do
Las Hermanas de Troncones is a local community group providing opportunities through education for women and children in the Troncones and Majahua areas.
Access to Education
Student Transportation
There are no high schools in Troncones or Majahua, and the school system dos not provide school buses or any form of transportation. Consequently, Las Hermanas established an essential school transportation program for students. This program serves secondary and high school students traveling to multiple schools in and around Troncones. This program serves approximately 55 students each year.
School Building Maintenance
We work with the school parent organizations to help provide ongoing school maintenance, and provide extensive repairs and remodeling to schools in Troncones and Majahua.
University Scholarships
Having a scholarship program has always been a dream for our organization. Our efforts to provide opportunities through education begin at the kinder level and continue through middle and high school. Offering scholarships for higher education would be the normal progression of our outreach, and was made possible with a generous donor who stepped up, with a recurring donation and a call-to-action, enabling us to grant our first two scholarships. We now support ten university students. We believe in investing in the next generation, and by making this a signature program for Las Hermanas, we will look to secure continued funding to help us support more local scholars to follow their dreams.
Building Learning and Language Fluency
The Library
We opened La Biblioteca, in the space next to El Centro, our learning center. This library will be the first new library within a five-hour range from Zihuatanejo. We are excited to provide an inspiring refuge to encourage curiosity, build community, and support opportunities through education. Stay tuned to learn how you can support community education by becoming a member of the Founders Circle!
Bilingual Classes
We offer a variety of bilingual classes, held in El Centro. We provide electronic equipment (laptops and headphones), internet, and learning materials. In addition to the ongoing three children's classes, a new class for beginners was added due to demand, and these classes now serve an average of 50 students per week.
Homework and Reading Clubs
These programs were started in conjunction with local teachers, families, and students. The programs are held after school in El Centro, and are open to all primary and secondary students. They are taught by teachers from the local primary schools, and offer much-needed individual support to students in a fun, inspiring, and welcoming environment. These after-school clubs serve an average of 80 students per week.
