APAN Learning Center
APAN's Learning Center carries out many programs for the community, and although three years ago it was thought that funds would no longer be available for the center, APAN has remained strong and continues to support the community it is apart of. Commitment to children is the motivation for Ronald Mendieta, APAN Director and Janina Perez, Learning Center Coordinator and sewing teacher. They continue to support children and youth through their programs. In November last year APAN celebrated their first graduation ceremony and in June this year they held a second graduation ceremony
This past June 19th was the bakery graduation for APAN, and as part of the celebration W/NP sent volunteers Sandra Boniche, Guadalupe Nunez, and Israel Delgado to fix 20 sewing machines and donate two additional sewing machines and one mixer for the bakery class. These new additions will help the Learning Center grow and prosper for years to come
