Tutoring
Center (1992-present)
The
tutoring center is currently in the basement of the Annex.
When construction is completed, it will be on the second
floor.
Jayson
is one special young boy whose only educational activities
are in the tutoring center, since his parents do not have
enough money to send him and his 7 brothers and sisters
to school.

UPAVIM
also maintains a tutoring center with international volunteers working
as teachers. It is open 6 days a week to all of the children in
the community with a special focus on students with scholarships
and children of the community who do not attend school. In the tutoring
center, the children receive help with their homework, do research
and read. The older scholarship students also work as volunteers
in the center to fulfill the requirements of their scholarship.
