In Loving Memory of our friend Steve Tipton.
Steve and Virgina have been an inspiration to all of us here
in San Carlos. They together have put through school
numerous Mexican children through school with tuitions,
uniforms and also mentoring these children. Steve put our
countless hours teaching children the English Language. All
of their students Graduated from High School and also went
off to College. These are children that would never had the
chance to even go on with school after primaria. Steve we
will all miss your spirit and with the help of Addelante
Estutiante your spirit will live on. Thank you from all of your
Mexican children and families, We love you.
If you would like to donate in Steve's name to help with The
Steve and Virginia Tipton's Foundation and the children they
are currently putting through school to live on with his
dreams.
Please go to the Memorial Page and make a donation. We
will post soon Banking info for their foundation. All money
received from our site will go to The Tipton Foundation. In
the Name of Steve Tipton.
Gracias Amigo
PLAY BALL!
Thank you Arizona Diamondbacks! The team donated tickets for 50 kids (PLUS 25
chaperon's!) for their February 21st exhibition game in Hermosillo, Sonora against a
team of Mexican All-Stars. For the kids, it was a reward for excellent behavior,
attendance at school and good grades….and it was a day they’ll never forget. And
what a treat when our friend Dave Schuminski greeted the kids at the stadium and
gave EACH a brand new, official Diamondbacks cap! Snacks, sodas, the game, even
the bus ride to Hermosillo (thanks to Tufesa Bus Lines) made it a memorable
occasion for kids AND volunteers.
NEW SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
There simply is no better gift than the gift of education, providing a child with the tools
necessary to better his or her own life. We’re proud to announce that “Adelante
Estudiante”, a committee of hard working, dedicated volunteers, has officially joined
Castaway Kids and already has received scholarship applications from more than 40
kids! You’d be surprised at how little it takes to help keep a child from bagging
groceries for a living at age 12 rather than continuing on with an education. But in a
city where many families live on $10 a day, those costs are often impossible to meet.

a childs life, by clicking ADELANTE ESTUDIANTE.
