Furthermore, the foundation assists in the purchase of school supplies, finances for the children the purchase of textbooks, the participation in cultural, sports and school activities as well as school trips and other extracurricular activities. In addition, the foundation provides funding for hot and nutritious meals for each child in the program and allows each child to receive [as needed] didactic / psycho didactic analysis and diagnoses in order to maximize the children’s success regardless of their family’s socioeconomic status.
