Children at our Help and Hope Center face a huge disadvantage in the area of mathematics.  There are no resources at home to assist with this subject and the children fall into a spiral of failure.  A child that fails one year of math is faced with making up the failed year along with a whole new year of math – an untenable situation.  This was the circumstance for Javier Caceres.  To address this problem the Help and Hope Center has hired a mathematics teacher to provide intense tutoring.  The result has been outstanding.  Javier is now passing both years of math and many other students are benefiting as well.
