The work of the benefactors of the scholarship Becas Padrino is recognized

PUERTO VALLARTA, Jalisco (OEM-INFORMEX.) - With the delivery of awards to Sponsor Scholarship benefactors, ended the cycle 2012 - 2013, program in which 58 children were benefited with warranted school fees so that they can continue with their studies and avoid dropping out due to lack of resources.

The president of the DIF System, Magaly Fregoso, said that the challenge for the second half of the year is to give scholarships to 100 children through the program Becas Padrino, which to date is awarded bimonthly amounting to 30 thousand dollars, with the participation of the private sector and civil society.

She stressed that the support that is given is for the purchase of school supplies and uniforms, ranging from 350 pesos every two months for elementary and 450 for Jr. High.

"While the sponsors fulfill their function by donating an amount for school expenses, the little beneficiaries of this program are committed to fulfill its purpose: to study, learn and deliver good results to their parents and their sponsors. For its part, DIF works in the harmonious development of families and equips parents to be better every day", she said.

Those who are granted support for the program Becas Padrino, are previously studied socioeconomically, but those who lack economic resources, a disability or are in vulnerability are prioritized. Becas Padrino arises from the need of many children to continue studying, such as Jesus Emiliano Meza Gil, who is now in the second grade, with the support of Becas Padrino.

Confident and without grief, Jesus Emiliano took the microphone to thank the authorities for their support and in particular to his godmother Elizabeth. "I come before you to say thank you personally for the support you have given me to succeed, especially my godmother Elizabeth and the DIF system, since they have been good to me and my family, a family of small income. Your support has been a blessing", said the child.

At the event held in the forecourt of DIF, the awards were delivered to the benefactor sponsors and parents who completed the Parent School program cycle, which is coordinated by Cesar Venegas; a prerequisite for children to receive the support.
