A Dream Come True

An underprivileged school in Lima Peru, has been awarded with ten computers, software, antivirus, and monitors from the Leon Foundation in order to support the idea of education through technology, an ideal highly regarded by the Leon Foundation. Through its 2011-2012 “A Dream Come True Project,” the Leon Foundation plans to donate 24 computers to implement a computer lab that will help better educate the 520 students of John Paul II, a school from k to 8th grade and high school located in Moron, Lima-Peru. With this donation, students will have the opportunity to learn the customs of different cultures around the world as well as have access to everything that the internet has to offer. They will be able to look into different careers fields offered and have a better understanding of what life is like outside of their community. Most important of all, they will be able to research different schooling options they can follow after graduation from John Paul II. Whether the students choose to go into a field in computer science, history, linguistics or any other educational fields, they will at least have the opportunity to explore all possible options.

Not everyone has the ability to be further educated because they don’t have the tools to research the necessary path they must take. With this donation, the students of John Paul II will be given this opportunity and hopefully take full advantage of it. This is the intention of the Leon Foundation as the underlying statement of the foundation is to always better oneself through further education.

The Leon Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization that sets its crosshairs at knowledge via technology. It originated in the golden state of California by CEO Dr. Joyce Leon-Gomez. Its main goal is to provide computer technology to less fortunate schools, churches, and other public institutions throughout South America. The Foundation gets its funding through grants and donations by generous individuals, corporations and governments that share the same passion for gaining greater education.

Its main offices are located in Sacramento, CA although representatives often travel to South America, in particularly but not limited to, Peru in order ensure that computers and educational supplies are properly delivered and installed. It is the philosophy of the Leon Foundation that greater knowledge is always feasible.

People always have the ability, and should have the passion, to expand their spectrum of knowledge in order to better understand themselves and the world around them. Albert Einstein once said that “the only source of knowledge is experience.” Unfortunately not everybody has the ability to fully experience their educational range because they lack the technology to do so said Joyce Leon-Gomez, President and Founder of Leon Foundation.  That’s where the Leon Foundation comes in. It is their intention to give the less fortunate peoples of South America all possible sources of information through technology in order to broaden their knowledge. If you share this same passion, please do not be shy and donate to the Leon Foundation. Donations are accepted in the form of cash, real property, automobiles, boats, planes, other vehicles, and publicly traded securities. You can donate at http://www.leonfoundation.org/ and while you’re there, feel free to explore the foundation and its philosophies.

The Leon Foundation has been working toward better educating the students and general public in South America since 2009. The Foundation plans to be very active in the communities of South America for many years to come and is devising projects in order to award these communities with the technology needed to better education.

Everyone deserves the opportunity to learn. The Leon Foundation simply gives them this opportunity. Giving hope with your help.
