Robert Bosch Foundation invests in CAM Polanco

Aiming to reduce school dropout, but mainly, to facilitate tools for children so they can have an optimal education, the Robert Bosch Foundation inaugurated infrastructure works at the facilities of the Multiple Attention Center (CAM, by its Spanish initials,) located in the Polanco neighborhood, in Guadalajara.

It is an infrastructure project with an investment of 455,000 pesos, to renew classrooms, furniture, didactic material and access for children with disabilities.

“It is also a bet on the future and at a very long term, since for a company like Bosch, which keeps a continuous growth, the best option to capture the necessary talent for their plants, is the local, and the best way is to facilitate the access to education from early ages, but mainly to impact in Jalisco’s society to make this State a better place,” said Maria Cecilia Pastor, management coordinator of the Robert Bosch Foundation in Guadalajara.

CAM Polanco serves children with disabilities and has qualified personnel for the excellent learning of children. Among the spaces enabled by the foundation are an interactive classroom, furniture for a kitchen room and even an elevator.

An investment for the future

Another activity held by Bosch Foundation in Jalisco is an approach with the Tecnologico Nacional de Mexico, headquartered in Zapotlanejo, whose students created a sign language software, to facilitate communication, especially for silent people, so they can have access to a school as any student, without the need of a translator.

Also, foundation fulfills a basic business entrepreneurship project, especially directed to basic education children, which intends to encourage them from an early age to fulfill their dreams.  

“The objective is to encourage them and open their minds from an early age, if one of them likes videogames, tell them that they can be programmers,” added Maria Jose Vazquez, events coordinator at the foundation.
