Only a few days are left to enjoy a virtual tour of seven lovely homes along the coast of the Yucatán, and also support the education of area students.
The Progreso Home Tour is a pay-per-view event online this year, meaning even more people can participate. The proceeds go directly to the Progreso Apoyo Program, which helps area kids stay in school.
According to a recent government survey, nearly 9 million students have dropped out of school in Mexico this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. But for the 52 students enrolled in the Progreso Apoyo Program, which the home tour benefits, the news is far better.
Every one of them stayed in school this year. Moreover, fully 75% of them have maintained or increased their grade-point average from the previous semester.
Among other things, the Progreso Apoyo Program is paying for Internet access and has provided its students with tablets to help with distance learning. For those students who may be struggling, the Apoyo Program is working directly with the families and the schools to make sure these kids don’t fall through the cracks.
The Home Tour is the major annual fundraiser for this non-profit organization and because of COVID, they have had to go virtual. The result is a high-quality video production that takes viewers through homes in Progreso, Chuburna and Telchac Puerto.
