Every child deserves a quality
education. With that premise in mind, Barbara
Olszewski founded Adopt-A-Classroom in 2003. Escuela
Alvira Fabiola Cecaņa. was the
first school adopted, followed by .Escuela Primera Club
Rotario. and more recently, La
Montaņa Center of Attention for Special Needs
Children.. Our desire is to
provide the tools necessary for poor children in
Puerto Penasco to succeed academically.
In the
seven years since, Adopt-A-Classroom has helped
provide everything from basic school
supplies (spiral notebooks, art supplies, pens,
pencils and school uniforms) to computers,
printer\copiers, copy paper, library books, white
boards and chalkboards. Adopt-A-Classroom of
Puerto Peņasco also supplies the equipment
necessary for schools to run efficiently, such as
office supplies, file cabinets, water coolers and
funds for maintenance and plumbing
repairs.
Adopt-A-Classroom of Puerto Peņasco... with
your help, we will make a
difference!

Considering
the phenomenal growth spurt Puerto Peņasco
experienced in recent years, it was
unavoidable that healthy youth activities would
be needed to help keep kids from falling prey to
negative elements. In 2007, Rick Busa began
coordinating donations of clothing and
bicycles.
Since that time,
Rick has grown The Youth Sports
Foundation of Puerto Peņasco into a far-reaching
program that now includes donations
of baseballs, helmets, and catching gear,
(much of this equipment through the generosity of
the Oakland As and Milwaukee Brewers).
In addition, The
Youth Sports Foundation has brought major league
ball players to Penasco to hold sports camps and
been integral in providing exhibition games for
the benefit of local children between the ages of
6-18, inspiring them to hone not only their
athletic skills, but sportsmanship and other
positive traits that help build happy, healthy
and successful lives.
