What a beautiful way to kick off the school year!
In August, our ASF families came together for our first meeting: parents/guardians sat down with psychologist Hector Meza to talk about self-esteem and self-love, plus a special mindfulness moment with guest Bibi Uribe. Meanwhile, our students had their own space to dive into healthy thinking patterns, emotions, and self-care. At the end of the meeting, families came together to share what they had learned with one another. We also heard from our newest ASF alumna, Araceli, who shared her journey through the program and how she’s now growing in her career, such a beautiful reminder of what’s possible. 🙌🏼
Grateful for every family who showed up ready to grow together. Here’s to a great year ahead! 🌟

¡Qué hermosa manera de comenzar el año escolar!
En Agosto, nuestras familias de ASF se reunieron para nuestra primera reunión: los padres y tutores platicaron con el psicólogo Hector Meza sobre la autoestima y el amor propio, además de un momento especial de meditcion con nuestra invitada Bibi Uribe. Mientras tanto, nuestros estudiantes tuvieron su propio espacio para explorar patrones de pensamiento saludables, emociones y autocuidado. Al final de la reunión, las familias se unieron para compartir lo que habían aprendido. También escuchamos a nuestra más reciente egresada de ASF, Araceli, quien compartió su trayectoria en el programa y cómo sigue creciendo en su carrera profesional, un hermoso recordatorio de lo que es posible. 👏🏻
Agradecidos con cada familia que llegó lista para crecer juntos. ¡Que sea un gran año! 🌟

Meet Dennise, a volunteer whose story is deeply woven into the mission of ASF. 🌟
She first heard about ASF through Jose Mondragon, a former ASF board member, and it instantly struck a chord. Being from Tijuana herself, she knew firsthand the realities of the students we support. “I moved to the United States in 2019, but my roots, my heart, and my educational foundation will always belong to Mexico.” she shared. “I refuse to sit on the sidelines now that I am in a position to help.”
We’re grateful for volunteers like Dennise who show up, again and again, for our students. 💙

Conoce a Dennise, una voluntaria cuya historia está profundamente entrelazada con la misión de ASF. 🌟
Ella supo de ASF por Jose Mondragón, ex miembro de la mesa directiva de ASF, y de inmediato sintió una conexión especial. Al ser de Tijuana, conocía de primera mano las realidades de los estudiantes a quienes apoyamos. “Me mudé a Estados Unidos en 2019, pero mis raíces, mi corazón y mi formación educativa siempre pertenecerán a México,” compartió. “Me niego a quedarme al margen ahora que estoy en posición de ayudar.”
Estamos agradecidos por voluntarias como Dennise, que están presentes una y otra vez para nuestros estudiantes. 🤍
