Día del Niño
On May 3rd ARISE organized a march to celebrate Día del Niño. Día del Niño is celebrated throughout Mexico on April 30th. ARISE and the colonia residents it serves gathered in the South Tower colonia community and marched as a tribute to all children who are working towards a brighter future.

With education the children hold the world in their hands. For this to be a reality we must all do our part.
