La misi\u00f3n de BASIC se alinea perfectamente con esta filosof\u00eda: capacitar, educar y empoderar a los habitantes de Borrego desde la infancia hasta la graduaci\u00f3n. Reconoce que identificar las barreras al \u00e9xito y encontrar soluciones es fundamental. Las iniciativas de BASIC, como la Academia de Aprendizaje de Verano y el Proyecto de Alfabetizaci\u00f3n para Familias Latinas, ejemplifican nuestro compromiso de superar las barreras educativas en Borrego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La recaudaci\u00f3n de fondos sigue siendo fundamental para nuestra misi\u00f3n, y Angela est\u00e1 deseosa de colaborar con la junta directiva de BASIC y la comunidad de Borrego. Juntos, financiaremos becas, subvenciones y programas que permitan a los estudiantes de Borrego alcanzar su m\u00e1ximo potencial y lograr sus sue\u00f1os.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Un hogar lejos de casa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Angela y su esposo, Tom, forman parte de la comunidad de Borrego Springs desde principios de los a\u00f1os 80.
