A VIDEO VERSION OF OUR STORY
This is a video made by a visitor from Centenary UMC in Granville, OH. I should say that though the video says that kids pay $60 to go to school, they actually pay more like $100, depending on the exchange rate ---about $10 a month. Parents with more than one child get reductions. It does not COST $100 per child, though. Every single child at Susana Wesley receives an automatic scholarship that reduces the payment to this, and our top students receive up to a 100% scholarship. The help and support of many kind and loving people make this possible, and we are very grateful for it. I am personally very proud of our children. I think they deserve all the love and support in the world. In 2009, the school was awarded a top 10 city wide ranking after the annual academic examinations of all schools in the country. We were ranked the 9th best school in a city with over one thousand schools in operation, and placed within the top 5% of all the schools in Chihuahua, a state larger than Texas. Anaprans are people who gave up everything in search for a better life. Given their situation, Anaprans may have been brave to hope -but they are right to believe in themselves and in their future. For all their needs and wants, their academic achievement surpassed that of many socially exclusive and well funded institutions. To me, our students' accomplishments demonstrate that they are the true Mexican elite.
