In April 2006 the Toronto District School Board released a report: the high-school drop-out rates amongst students of Latin American descent in Toronto was at an all time high of 40%.
Poverty, access to information, parental involvement and a lack of sense of belonging and cultural identity amongst Latino youth were some of the identified complex social challenges.
From its inception, LACAP has implemented various educational experiences in order to address this alarming reality and responded by providing access to knowledge of Latin American cultural art and history to children and youth within schools, community centres, public spaces and institutions. real vs fake rolex oyster perpetual
