Upward Bound Program - Caguas, Puerto Rico

Documental 100,000 Presentation

Instructor - Dra. Úrsula Aragunde Kohl - Guest Speaker - Juan Marquez - August 28th, 2010

PR-Animals presented a program and discussion focusing on the situation of stray dogs in Puerto Rico, and shared the documentary "100,000". Documentary Producer Juan Marquez was a guest speaker at the event. More than 60 high school students attended the session and were engaged in asking questions and talking about how to become part of finding solutions to the problem that plagues the island.

Upward Bound serves high school students in five target schools from low-income families and also from families in which neither parent holds a bachelor's degree. The goal of Upward Bound is to increase the rate at which participants complete secondary education and enroll in and graduate from institutions of post secondary education. Upward Bound provides fundamental support to participants in their preparation for college entrance. The program provides opportunities for participants to succeed in their precollege performance and ultimately in their higher education goals.
