Eagles Wings Foundation

Many people who visit Mexico and stay at the beautiful resorts do not realize that ten minutes away are living in such places as the city dump and other close by areas under similar conditions. The people do what ever they can to eke out a meager existence, even scavening the dump for items they can sell and sometimes even for food.

WE try very hard to help children through our scholarship program. In Mexico Chilren who finish their primary school (primary and junior high levels) no longer receive any state support making the drop out rate very high. In some schools the teacher has to sign out a blackboard eraser and return it at the end of the school day and the students even have to pay for the paper on which to prepare tests. In many schools textbooks are non existant and librarys are only in their dreams. In one school for eample we learned that many of the students worked in the fields in the morning and went to school from 2.00 to 8.00. Some of the students were walking up to two hours each way EWF bought them a school bus and now they have four times as many students which come from a wider area.

At the present time EWF makles a yearly donation to an organization in the nearby community of Bucerias who ere building a combination orphanage and day care center where non exists.

Another program now being run by EWF is a " thrift " store where people can buy needed articles at a very low price which they could not afford to buy at regular store prices. These articles, ranging from irons and toasters to microwaves,televisions and mattresses.These article are donated by the Villa Group hotels from items being replaced at the hotels.These items are in good condition but no longer suitable for the hotel operations. The store called :" Eagle's Nest " is run by volonteers and the money earned comes back to the Founation This program is one of several sponsored by EWf besides the grants given to qualifying organizations.

Any organization approved by the EWF BOD is catrefully screened befor a grant is given and must submit receipts for any and all expenses

Our donors have been very gererous but we never have enough money to help all of the worthy organ ization needing our help. For example, in our last grants we were able to provide assistance to 123 organizations for over $ 120,000.00. Its is sad but there were four organization that did not receiv a grant because we simply did not have the funds.

It is our hope and prayers that after learning about some of the work being done by EWF that you see how important this organization has become in helping thousands of people in need to have a start toward a better life

Any donation that you might wish to make will be gratefully received and be assured that it will be used to provide assistanve to those who need it the most.
You can earmark your donation for a special cause and you will receive a " thank you " letter from our treasurer.
