It aspires to bridge the gap between poverty and opportunity to make lives better and better each day. Lance Abarquez once aimlessly roamed the streets selling dried fish. Lance received a full ride scholarship with APEC Schools and now, he has a greater chance of achieving his dream of becoming a businessman in the future. We have a total of 490 students for school year 2019-2020. Our goal for the next school year is to raise funds for an additional 220 scholars for both junior and senior high. Lance is one story changed; we now have the power to change a lot more. Be a champion of APECreates by supporting a scholar! For more details, please email [email protected] 1.
