Program Spotlight
For Many Children in
Allapattah, Latinos United Is Their “Shining
Star”Published Tuesday,
February 22, 2011
Yaina, Ricardo, Gloria and the other
children who bustle in the door for the
Latinos United after-school program are as
hopeful as kids anywhere.
They laugh and chatter, toss their books on
the tables and flip them open, ready to
learn. They pepper coordinator Marta
Velasquez and aide Adler Julian with
questions and hunger to hear: “That’s it,
you’re right.” The stars they dream of are
as bright as their smiles.
But the odds against them are long. Their
Allapattah neighborhood is statistically
among the most impoverished, underemployed
and crime-ridden in the county. The
abandoned lot across the street, the boarded
shops nearby, the front door whose glass has
been replaced with plywood – are stark
reminders of this reality.
Many of the children’s parents speak English
only haltingly at best; they’re unable to
help the children with their homework and
reluctant to involve themselves at the
school.
 |
Friendships and camaraderie
are especially important
component for these Allapattah
students. |
Quality after-school programs like this one
funded by The Children’s Trust deliver a
much-needed service to parents and support
children’s development in many areas. They
provide safe haven during the after-school
hours, help with homework, encourage fitness
and teach about nutrition. For these kids,
with the odds so stacked against them,
Latinos United is a shining star that keeps
their hopes alive.
After earning two masters degrees in New
England, Dr. Juana A. Vargas relocated to
Miami and worked in the public school
system. Studying nights and weekends, she
earned her doctorate in Education from Nova
Southeastern University and taught summers
at Miami Jackson High School. Many of the
students there hailed from nearby
Allapattah.
“What do you want to do when you grow up?”
she asked them. Too many had the same
response: “Oh, I don’t know, my family is so
poor.”
Their reply bothered her, and made her
remember what a college mentor had told her
once: “It doesn’t matter how poor you are,
you can still be something in life.”
 |
Coordinator Marta Velazquez
helps students get up and running
on the literacy software programs.
|
She founded Latinos United in Action Center
(LUAC) in 2000, just blocks from Miami
Jackson High and in the heart of the
vibrant, but tough Allapattah neighborhood.
She hoped to change the mindset of the
students.
A small grant from the county helped get
things started, but the early years were
difficult. Vargas remembers the day kids
watched in wonder as police officers dashed
through the center chasing an escaping
suspect.
In 2004, a grant from Hispanic Philanthropy
helped bump the center along, and in 2007
LUAC received a starter grant from The
Children’s Trust, a $50,000 seed grant meant
to build capacity in small, community-based
organizations.
 |
|
Students get right to work
on homework assignments at LUAC. |
Then in 2008, Dr. Vargas and Pedro Uranga,
her husband and the program administrator,
took a serendipitous call. The
Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) was
visiting Miami looking for a school to
target for renovation. The IDB, which
supports development projects throughout the
Americas, consulted Vargas, aware of her
close connections to her native Dominican
Republic.
“Why not consider our center? We’re small
enough and certainly could use some
assistance,” Vargas ventured.
“We’re sure we can find a school and,
besides, we don’t want to get your hopes
up,” came the reply.
Yet after a week of searching for a
prototype school, the IDB directors visited
LUAC. By the time they left that afternoon,
their answer had changed: “You’re just the
facility we were looking for.”
On April 3, 2008, seventy volunteers from
the “Rock, Paper and Scissors,” a DirectTV
initiative, in partnership with Microsoft
and the IDB, converged on the center. The
“dinosaur” computers were replaced with 25
sparkling new desktops. The chairs bought
for $80 at a garage sale were discarded. The
bathrooms were redone. New cement was poured
for the patio outside, a garden planted and
on the outside walls local artist Xavier
Cortada painted a series of native trees
with maxims from famous figures – Pablo
Neruda, Simon Bolivar, Martin Luther King
Jr., Jose Marti. Within days, the make-over
was complete: “before” and “after” photos
capture the remarkable transformation.
About that same time, LUAC successfully
competed for a larger funding grant from The
Children’s Trust for its after-school
program.
 |
|
Administrator Pedro Uranga
and Director Dr. Juana A. Vargas. |
“The Children’s Trust has trained us in all
kinds of capacities,” says Uranga. “We’ve
learned the financial management process
inside and out – it’s like a university.
We’re really thankful.”
The LUAC after-school program runs from 2 to
7 p.m. and currently accommodates 50
children, ages 7-13. The waiting list of
children waiting to enter is long. The
program focuses on five activities areas:
reading/literacy; physical fitness (dancing,
workout and aerobics), social
skills/conflict resolution; family
involvement and communication; technology
training and Internet access. Nutritious
snacks and beverages are served, and evening
classes in citizenship and other services
are offered for parents some evenings.
In its mission statement, LUAC describes
itself as “a catalyst for positive change in
learning.” The children here this late
January afternoon serve as examples.
Michael, a 5th-grader at Maya Angelou
Elementary, enjoys getting homework help and
says that the program has improved his
grades at school. Yaina, 11 and also a
student at Santa Clara, was a nonreader when
she first came. Now she enjoys helping
younger students in their reading. Ricardo,
a 2nd-grader at Santa Clara Elementary, has
been attending for the past three years;
he’s made good friends and the program has
helped his socialization skills. Tyler, a
kindergartner at Santa Clara, looks forward
every day to practicing the “Hooked on
Phonics” program on the computers.
The lyrics to the well-known song “When You
Wish Upon a Star” reminds us that “it makes
no difference who you are. Anything your
heart desires will come to you.” For these
children who reside in Allapattah, with the
highest juvenile arrest rate in Miami-Dade
County,” they just might consider naming
their “star”: Latinos United.
