Our partners

Our goal is to work in coordination with other community service groups here in town. So far our work has brought us into partnership with the following:
 
• Public spirited residents and visitors have provided many of the computers now in place. The need is so great that we will begin to purchase computers from non profit organizations. We have received unsolicited funds from these folks as well. This support has made all the difference.

• The Michael Wein Foundation provided early "seed money" for our little project. The Foundation has continued to provide funding and encouragement.
 
• Universidad Tecnológico del Norte Guanajuato helps CPJ by converting units to Spanish and adding software. In turn, the professors at UTNG appreciate having a supply of computers to help train their computer lab students.
 
• Rotary International Support from Rotary has been indispensable. We encourage Rotary Clubs in Canada, Mexico and the United States to partner with us in this worthwhile effort.


 
Our partners help us serve these groups
 
• Public schools:  With over 400 schools in San Miguel alone this is by far our largest customer base. Few of these schools have computers at all and fewer still have working computers with educational software. Rarer still is any kind of technical support. That's where our mentors come in.
 
• Jovenes Adelante provides scholarships in the form of monthly stipends to college students who, without this support would not be able to attend a university. The parents, many with only a 4th or 5th grade education, are making a huge sacrifice for their kids. CPJ is committed to seeing that all of these scholarship recipients have computers so they can successfully compete with students from more affluent families.
 
• Patronato Pro Niños provides medical and dental care to thousands of youngsters every year. When they identify kids with on going problems that prevent regular school attendance we try to step in and provide computers. We have a long way to go here.
 
• Centro de Crecimiento serves a large population of kids and young adults with serious developmental limitations. We have provided them with donated office equipment as well as computers for individuals.
 
• Ignacio Ramirez School serves youngsters with serious developmental disabilities who can benefit from a class room setting. We have just begun to help out here and need to do a lot more.
 
• Our three children's homes: Sollano orphanage for girls, Mexiquito orphanage for boys and Santa Julia orphanage for girls all do a great job with their young charges. All three now have computers available to their boys and girls. We help maintain these computers and provide classes for the staff and youngsters as well.
