Asopica says goodbye to the former headquarters of the Comprehensive School “La Coromoto”
20 years ago a group of businessmen from Caracas, lovers of the llanos and, especially, of La Pica in the Apure state, they felt the need to do something for the children who lived in the area. They didn’t know what, but after consulting with experts they decided, despite knowing little about it, open a little school.
At first, it was a small facility where children from the surrounding areas who could get there on their own were cared for. There they were taught to read and write. Everything in a relatively informal way. But, little by little, due to the demands of the beneficiaries, out of necessity for the growth of the school, everything was formalized.
It went from being an informal school to an educational center registered with the Ministry of Education. An educational center that eventually not only formed part of the Venezuelan Association of Catholic Education (In Spanish AVEC), but also graduated children from primary school. That today, thanks to its agreement with the Casa Hogar San Fernando, in San Fernando de Apure, it has its first two alumni with a university degree.
Today we say goodbye to “La Coromoto” based in Caño La Pica, in the Santos Luzardo National Park. But we don’t say goodbye to school. This new school year 2023-2024 we will begin operations at our new headquarters in La Macanilla. This will allow us to increase our enrollment and, even, in a few years, graduate children from high school. It will also allow us to serve not only our students, but also the youth and adults of the community, since it will also be a community center for arts and crafts.
All this is possible today, because 20 years ago, a group of people dared to make a difference. Our invitation is to dare to help. To look around, see where you can help and do it.
Dare to make a difference!
This upcoming school year, see you at La Macanilla.
