PARTNERSHIP OF INSTITUTION
Last February,the partnerships of  The John Paul II Institute and the Flor de Maria Rizo School in Jinotega Nicaragua was held in Managua Nicaragua. This partnerships  will permit these two institutes to support each other by technology development and better education.

The Specialized Technical Institute John Paul II (ITEJP) is a non-profit organization registered in Nicaragua and in the United States. It was founded by Monsignor Silvio Fonseca in 1996 for young people from low income families who have the aptitude to acquire technical skills.

Foundation History

Nineteen years ago I founded the John Paul II Technical Institute in Managua, Nicaragua for impoverished young people who wish to learn a vocation. In addition to vocational training, I wished to instill the moral values that John Paul II so often preach to young people throughout the world. In this way,  I pray that both the individual and society will benefit. It is perhaps Divine providence that many friends and social institution in Nicaragua and elsewhere supported this vision, and the Technical Institute became a reality. Each year about 200 students leave the Institute to find their way in Nicaragua society. to help support the needs of the institute, I hope to develop a support group of friends here in the United states, to fund scholarships, maintain the buildings and equipment and provide necessary teaching supplies.
 The cost to support one student is approximately one dollar a day. The Institute is open year-round, so the cost per student one year is about $360. This is well beyond the means of the young people we hope to educate. I am asking you to share your blessings and make a donation to the Institute.

we have begun the process of establishing this campaign as a non-profit organization, please be assured of my personal commitment to serving others, especially the poor and the young who will share in the social development of Nicaragua.
