• Compadres
  Lawrence and Suzanna Becerra founded Las Campanas Compadres three years ago, a program geared toward people with special needs. Las Capanas Compadres helps people get involved in athletic activities and pairs them with qualified instructors. Now, more than 30 students ranging in age from 2 1/2 to 84 with a variety of disabilities are in the program. "Our biggest challenge is finding enough volunteers," said Lawrence. "There is no limit to how much the program could grow. It's just a question of man power." Not only are there horseback riding lessons Mondays, art programs every other Wednesday morning and swimming lessons on Friday and Saturdays - but the Becerras are planning fishing excursions as well. All the donations received to funding the lessons and instructors — all other program costs are covered by Lawrence and Susanna themselves.
