Emmanuel lives in the village of Ixil and has to travel by bus each day to his high school which is in the neighboring town of Chicxulub Pueblo. His father is the sole support of their family and works as a farmer growing crops like cilantro which does not provide enough money to pay for school costs. Emmanuel needs funding to help pay for his uniform (including shoes), books and school supplies and his inscription fees for school. Funding help will insure not only that Emmanuel will be able to achieve his dream of being a Chemistry teacher but will also help his entire family.

Jesus Emanuel lives in Ixil, Yucatan with his family and wants to be a computer engineer. He has volunteered for years teaching computer skills to children with Proyecto Itzaes and is determined to go to college. But first, he needs to finish high school and that involves a daily bus ride to the town of Chicxulub Pueblo where his high school is located. His family does not have enough money to provide for the costs of inscription, books, computer access, uniform and transportation.
