One of the causes supported by the Royal Resorts Foundation is education and we have been providing scholarships for children attending the Cancun school Colegio Mano Amiga. At the graduation of 71 students from Bachillerato (Senior High), Royal Resorts Operations Director Armando Millet made a donation of US$31,435 to the school to give even more children a better future.
Founded in 2009 in the Ciudad de Alegría community center on the outskirts of Cancun, Colegio Mano Amiga provides education for children from extremely poor and disadvantaged backgrounds, who otherwise might not have a chance to complete their studies. Thirty of the students who graduated this month have been at the school since it opened and completed their secondary education there. Four students received awards for academic excellence and merit and many hope to go on to university.
Many parents attending the graduation expressed their gratitude for the support of the Royal Resorts Foundation. Thanks to the generous donations of members, guests and staff, we have been able to help these children fulfill their dreams.
