About Service Learning
Students Helping Street Kids International views service learning as a powerful tool for youth development. Community service becomes service learning when there is a deliberate connection made between service and learning opportunities.

In funding scholarships and other projects for children living in extreme poverty in developing countries and through the learning for which this can be a catalyst, students are enriching themselves as well as causing a profound and positive effect upon the lives of those children in developing countries who receive the benefits of their efforts.

¡Congratulations!! People like you who have the desire for a better world and with your attitude and generosity are making it happen.

Casa Guadalupe AC, in Hermosillo, Sonora, México, has the goal of giving a different kind of life to the children who live in the steets, but its purpouse is to do it by giving them the whole development of their minds, body and spirits in an environment of self respect. The work has been hard and with a lot of economic problems, but the outcome has been full of satisfactions morally speakign for the staff and our supporters, but most of all, for our children who are working very hard to overcome the negativeness of their environment.0ur House can accommodate 48 children, but right now is sheltering 23 kids with ages between 7 an 18 years, and of course the expenses are very high.
Most of the children are attending school and the older ones are tryng to take special capacitation courses.
We want to know more about you, if you can help us to offer them hope for its lives.
we will wait for its news sincerely.
DORIS CHAVEZ.
