ALL THE STUDENTS COME FROM FAMILIES WITH A LIMITED INCOME, AND ALL HAVE FACED HARDSHIP, BUT THEY ARE MOTIVATED TO LEARN AND IMPROVE THEIR LIVES AND TO HELP SUPPORT THEIR FAMILIES. BASIC AND SECONDARY EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIPS: EDUCATION REMAINS A FUNDAMENTAL PILLAR OF EPILOGOS' MISSION. BY PROVIDING AN ADEQUATE EDUCATION, STUDENTS CAN SECURE JOBS THAT ALLOW THEM TO SUPPORT THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES. IN 2025, EPILOGOS SUPPORTED A TOTAL OF 75 ELEMENTARY STUDENTS FROM KINDERGARTEN TO 9TH GRADE, AND 68 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. EACH STUDENT RECEIVED SPORTS SHOES AND UNIFORMS, SCHOOL UNIFORM, BOOKS, SPORTS DAY PAYMENT, FOOD AND TUITION PAYMENT. THE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM SEEKS TO BENEFIT FAMILIES AND STUDENTS WITH LIMITED ECONOMIC RESOURCES WITH A DESIRE FOR SELF-IMPROVEMENT, ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE AND A SPIRIT OF HUMANITARIAN SERVICE. OUR SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM IS MADE UP OF STUDENTS AND PARENTS WHO BECOME ACTIVE MEMBERS OF THEIR COMMUNITY BY VOLUNTEERING TO JOIN THE PROGRAMS THAT EPILOGOS HAS IN THE VILLAGE OF SAN JOSE VILLANUEVA. FOR INSTANCE, HELPING TO BUILD DECENT HOUSES FOR LOW-INCOME FAMILIES, AND SUPPORTING THE IMPROVEMENT AND IDENTITY OF THE COMMUNITY BY PARTICIPATING IN THE MAINTENANCE OF THE MURAL THAT HIGHLIGHTS THE VALUES OF THE COMMUNITY. THERE IS A COMMITMENT FROM THE PARENTS TO PROVIDE SUPPORT AND TO FOLLOW UP ON THE EDUCATION OF THEIR STUDENTS WHO HAVE RECEIVED SCHOLARSHIPS FROM EPILOGOS. PARENTS OF THESE STUDENTS FEEL RESPONSIBILITY AND COMMITMENT AS A FAMILY, AND THEY FOLLOW UP TO ENSURE THEIR CHILDREN APPRECIATE VALUES AND PRESENT EXCELLENT ACADEMIC RESULTS. THEY ARE CONVINCED THAT THE ONLY WAY TO CHANGE THEIR CHILD'S FUTURE, AND THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT, IS THROUGH EDUCATION. SPECIAL EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIPS: EPILOGOS CONTINUES TO SUPPORT STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. 19 STUDENTS FROM KINDERGARTEN TO 9TH GRADE RECEIVED SCHOLARSHIPS; EACH STUDENT RECEIVED SPORTS UNIFORMS, BOOKS AND SPORTS SHOES AND THE PAYMENT OF 100% OF THEIR MONTHLY FEES. OUR PROGRAM SEEKS TO SUPPORT FAMILIES WITH LIMITED ECONOMIC RESOURCES AND FAMILIES WHO NEED A HELPING HAND AS THEY HOPE FOR CHANGE FOR THE FAMILY AND AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE STUDENTS. THIS IS THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY FOR MANY OF THE STUDENTS TO ATTEND SCHOOL AND THEY RECEIVE PERSONALIZED ATTENTION TO DEVELOP THEIR SKILLS, IMPROVE THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE, AND BECOME AS INDEPENDENT AS POSSIBLE. SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHER SALARY SUPPORT: EPILOGOS SUPPORTS THE SALARIES OF 2 SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS AT THE COMPLEJO EDUCATIVO CATOLICO, ONE TEACHER TAUGHT CLASSES IN THE MORNING, AND THE SECOND TEACHER IN THE AFTERNOON. THERE ARE LIMITED RESOURCES FOR FUNDING EDUCATION, SO THE SCHOOLS SEEK HELP FROM OUTSIDE INSTITUTIONS AND FOUNDATIONS TO SUPPORT THEIR NEEDS. SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS PLAY A VERY IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE EDUCATION AND GUIDANCE OF STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL ABILITIES. THE STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENTS RECEIVE ADEQUATE ATTENTION AND EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT FROM TEACHERS WHO SPECIALIZE IN WORKING WITH STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. DONATION OF TABLES AND CHAIRS FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION: THE STUDENTS IN THE SPECIAL EDUCATION CLASSROOM RECEIVED FURNITURE THAT WILL ALLOW THEM TO WORK IN A MORE OPTIMAL WAY. THEY DID NOT HAVE ADEQUATE DESKS AND CHAIRS AND THANKS TO THE DONATION THE 19 STUDENTS NOW HAVE A GOOD WORKING ENVIRONMENT. ADOPTION OF 6 SCHOOL CLASSROOMS: SIX CLASSROOMS WERE ADOPTED IN 3 SCHOOLS IN THE VILLAGE: SAN JUAN BUENA VISTA SCHOOL CENTER, AMAQUILCO SCHOOL CENTER, LA LIMA SCHOOL CENTER. TEACHERS PROVIDE A LIST OF MATERIALS THE STUDENTS NEED IN THE CLASSROOM (BOOKS, LEARNING GAMES, STATIONERY, ART MATERIALS, ETC.), DONORS PROVIDE THE FUNDING AND THE SPECIFIC MATERIALS REQUESTED ARE DELIVERED FOR THE STUDENTS. THE DONATION BENEFITS SCHOOLS, THE TEACHERS AND STUDENTS WHO ATTEND CLASSES, BECAUSE THEY HAVE LIMITED RESOURCES AND DO NOT HAVE WHAT IS NECESSARY IN EACH CLASSROOM.

THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE FIRST TWO HOUSES WAS BUILT BY A GROUP OF 25 FOREIGN VOLUNTEERS FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE AND 35 LOCAL VOLUNTEERS.
