Looking to Collaborate with Schools in 2023

We would like to open the conversation to talk about bullying, gangs, violence, drugs, suicides and school dropouts We have children and teenagers walking around lost in a culture of darkness, we need to do something about it

Over the past fifteen plus years we have developed a comprehensive bilingual non generic book series and program that is culturally relevant, it also resonates with the youth and promotes academic achievement

The books «From the Barrio to the Board Room, graphic novel Mi Barrio & activity coloring book Little Barrio» teaches our kids that gang banging and violence is not a life style but a death style.

These books are teaching tools that principals, teachers and parents are exchanging for all the guns, knives, drugs, needles, booze and evening the cigarettes. The Barrio books are also teaching our kids that the ultimate weapon is not a loaded gun but an educated mind

The Barrio books are viable and valuable teaching tools that must be read by every kid in Illinois and across the country We have had multiple of students tell us that they where going to kill themselves until they had read the Barrio book Others have removed themselves from the running around with gang members, others decided to pursue a college education.

We welcome you to engage with us to have a conversation about addressing the now issues that our kids are facing everyday single day in and around Chicagoland Innocent children are being shot and killed daily and o thers are being exposed violence, every seven seconds in America a chilld is being bullied Our kids are overdosing on drugs while others are failing terribly in school, we must look at the Barrio books and program as a resource to help us focus on prevention over intervention. Reach out to us for your free academic curriculum that is being taught in classrooms to middle school and high school students.

We have an opportunity to unite so that we can help lift our children up so that they too can spread their wings and fly like the angels God intended them to be.

No more panel discussions talking about statistics, its not just time but its way past time to embrace a big idea who’s time has come

Please reach out to Dr Robert Renteria so that we as a community can change the narrative

El Día de la Madre se celebra en gran parte del mundo, pero en fechas distintas para cada país Lo que sí se ha establecido como consenso es que el día sirve para rendir homenaje a la maternidad, ya no tanto como un factor fundamental para la construcción de la familia, sino más bien como un proceso simbólico e históricamente asociado al amor, al esfuerzo, a la comprensión y a la ternura

Al contrario de lo que se suele pensar, la tradición de celebrar el Día de la Madre no tiene su origen en la época contemporánea De hecho, las civilizaciones antiguas ya rendían culto a la figura de la madre.

Por ejemplo, en la Antigua Grecia, Rea no solo era la diosa de la fertilidad y la maternidad, sino que era considerada la madre de la humanidad por haber dado a luz a Hestia, Hades, Deméter, Poseidón, Hera y Zeus Es por lo que, cada año al inicio de la primavera, los griegos celebraban un festival para venerar a esta deidad. Así mismo, en Roma se realizaban rituales similares para homenajear a Cibeles, diosa de la tierra, y en Egipto se honraba a Isis, la Gran diosa madre.

Más tarde, el cristianismo concentró todo este simbolismo en una sola figura: la Virgen María, cuyo día es el 8 de diciembre, llamado oficialmente Día de la Inmaculada Concepción. Así pues, en países de tradición cristiana, este era el día en que se alababa a las madres y así se mantuvo hasta bien entrado el siglo XX

El Día de la Madreen Estados Unidos tal y como hoy lo conocemos tiene su origen en 1865, en el escenario de un país recién salido de la Guerra de Secesión.
