An idea that began 40 years ago in Israel is expressed with great lucidity in our country. This is the “Peraj-adopt-a-friend” model. In a special interview with “Citizenship in Construction”, its president, Armando Jinich, relates: “…the movement was born in Jerusalem 4 decades ago and today it is present in 25 countries. There it constitutes the National Mentoring Program of Israel, where 30% of university students serve as tutors (friends) to encourage them to continue studying.” The Peraj-Mexico model is based on encouraging young university students to serve as tutors for primary school girls and boys who are in their fifth or sixth year. University students invest a school year (10 months) to accompany girls and boys. Through weekly coexistence on the university campus, they encourage them to continue their studies and have a vision of reaching university. The activities carried out between the people who are tutors and those of the girls and boys range from games, educational days, regularization, to visits to faculties and institutes, sports and cultural activities, in short, all the possibilities that each Institution offers. . Thus, since they were little they have experienced university. One of the main positive effects of the program, says Armando Jinich, “is that the children say I want to study at university.” Peraj-México was born in the country in 2004, after a pilot project was carried out the previous year with the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). Here the tutoring was based on university social service. Peraj México establishes agreements with different public and private universities so that students can enroll and agree on various strategies to recruit tutors. An interesting fact is that students would have to cover 480 hours, however, they stay up to 10 months, which lasts one primary school year, to cover the objectives of the program. “It is very exciting to see the results at the end of a school year, because when we celebrate the end of the tutoring where we bring together teachers, university tutors, parents and the girls and boys, we have heard their testimonies.
In particular, I remember New Zealand WhatsApp Number List one very unique one. A child told us: 'You think we are very happy because we finished, but in reality I am also sad because I am no longer going to live with my tutor.' That is the strength of the emotional relationship between infants and university students,” said Armando Jinich. The president of Peraj shares another nice anecdote: “another child told us: 'before entering Peraj they sat me at the end of the room, where they seat the donkeys, but now I am not my teacher's darling, but they no longer seat me.' there'". The UNAM, which has been a strategic ally of Peraj, has identified so much with the project, says Armando, that in the closing ceremonies we have had the successive presence of the rectors José Sarukhán, José Narro Robles and Enrique Graue; which even more motivates the children who participated in his school year, he concludes. In this way, Peraj has established various alliances with other universities such as the Autonomous University of Guadalajara, which hosted the Peraj 2017 National Meeting, the Autonomous University of Zacatecas, the University of Colima, Sinaloa, etc. However, Peraj recently carried out an institutional reflection and determined that just as volunteering is already promoted through social service that flows through mentoring, the program has great potential if it relies even more on volunteering. In such a way that this issue and the effective management of volunteering is the challenge they face in the coming months, said its Director, Marua Pinto Hugues. Some Peraj results from some states have been reported by different print media in recent days, as reported by Colima Noticias in “CEDEFU raises awareness among children of the Ucol-Peraj program on nutrition issues” (May 10, 2017) where it is indicated that : “The University Family Development Center (CEDEFU) of the University of Colima, directed by Alicia López de Hernández, carried out awareness-raising activities on nutrition issues for 118 children in the fifth and sixth grades of primary education.
“During the ceremony, in which 68 minors from Saltillo, Ramos Arizpe and Arteaga received the certificate of completion of the program, from the hands of Aurora Bustillo Garfias, Deputy Director of Academic Improvement; Héctor Ead of the Department of Social Service; Claudia Sánchez, Coordinator of Ladies Volunteers and the director of the Faculty of Communication Sciences, Mirales.” In this case, the tutors of the girls and boys lived together every Saturday on the university campus. In Coahuila “it works with five service centers for the Peraj 'Adopt a Friend' program; one located in the facilities of the Faculty of Communication Sciences, in the Faculty of Administration Sciences, Institute of Sciences ana.

This is how every year at the National Meeting of Peraj México AC, various methodologies for the implementation of the program are shared in order to strengthen it. One of the great results that Peraj-adopt a friend has demonstrated in recent years is that 50% of the girls and boys who enter with a high risk of dropping out go to low risk. Without a doubt, this association has successfully resolved that university students participate as agents of change in their communities while having a positive impact on children in Mexico. The Mexican Volunteer Alliance considers that they are the type of social programs that are worth supporting and making known so that they continue to grow.
