year’s EPCC annual fundraiser donates the funds to the ‘Avanza’,
an association that helps finding a solution for people born with
Spina Bifida. Avanza also informs and gives support to parents that
recently gave birth to a child affected by such a disorder.

“My
children have this disorder and that’s why I volunteer to work
for this organization,” said Veronica Villaba, Avanza secretary.
There were several volunteer participants providing services such
as hair cuts, manicures and massages. Students, staff and faculty
participated in the activities to raise money for the local charity.
According to Claudia Chacon, a part-time instructor who was in charge
of this particular activity, the fundraiser was quite successful like
the previous years.
“EPCC has a lot of potential, youth and people who are interested
in the community. EPCC is not just a school. It is the community itself,”
said Chacon.
