Welcome to the student scholars of Solentiname. We want to thank you for your interest, financial support and most of all, your solidarity that you have for our community. It may be the best program we have created, and it is certainly one of the most important. Education is the bridge out of poverty and these students are doing their part to take advantage of the opportunity. Together, all of us working together, can provide the tools and resources these young people need to succeed in the future.
The foundation program of the Alianza is Sobresaliente and CPU and Leer Solentiname are the pillars of Sobresaliente. Sobresalientes is a multi-faceted program to expand the educational opportunities for gifted and motivated (sobresalientes) students in Solentiname; to enable them to reach their true potential and be better prepared for post secondary education. It is an innovative “school in a school” complementing the rudimentary government primary and secondary school system. Our approach includes a focus on developing critical thinking and creative learning. The goal is to use these new tools to get the students thinking for themselves, and developing a lifelong love of learning.
All of our programs are voluntary, which means they must have the personal motivation to come on their own, and students must pay part of their expenses themselves. It isn’t a free ride; all students, even the primary school students of Leer are also required to participate in community service projects, which they plan. As you read their profiles, these students want to leave to get their education and generally come back home to give back to their community. It is a unique connection with home.

All donations are pooled together for that group of students, and we hope you will be able to create a personal connection with one of these students to show that "we care" about their future. It’s a tangible and measured way to support the future of Solentiname, with some great rewards!
