This GivingTuesday, on December 3, Sententia Vera, LLC is excited to inspire generosity in our community by raising essential funds for the Dripping Springs Adult Education Program (DSAEP). GivingTuesday, celebrated globally, is a powerful movement encouraging people to uplift their communities. Learn more at GivingTuesday.org.
Why Support Sententia Vera’s GivingTuesday Mission?
At Sententia Vera, we are passionate about building bridges between languages and cultures. Through the DSAEP, a community initiative serving our region for 28 years, we support adult immigrant students in achieving English literacy, confidence, and cultural connection. Since its founding in 1996, DSAEP has empowered over 100 adults to prepare for the TExES English as a Second Language Supplemental and U.S. Citizenship exams, opening doors to new opportunities and belonging.
The Need: A Home for Language Learning
As a volunteer-led organization, DSAEP relies on the generosity of community spaces for its classes. We’re honored to have housed the program at the Sententia Vera Cultural Hub since 2019, where students participate in 15 free sessions each spring and fall semester, learning vital English skills. Yet, to expand and enhance our offerings, we need your help this GivingTuesday!
Your GivingTuesday Gift’s Impact
Your contributions will allow us to provide essential resources and opportunities for our students. Here’s how you can make a difference:
1. Teaching Resources & Materials
Your donation will fund teacher guides, games, multimedia resources, and bilingual programs that make learning accessible and engaging. These tools help our students grow in confidence and ability, bridging language and cultural gaps.
2. Community Experiences
Funds will also support enriching experiences like field trips, guest speakers, and workshops, giving our students the real-world practice they need to thrive in English-speaking environments. With your help, we can create a classroom environment that is truly transformative.
The Goal: A Sustainable Future for DSAEP
With your support, we can strengthen and expand DSAEP for generations to come. Our hope is to transition to the new Dripping Springs Community Library once it opens, creating a permanent home where students can flourish.
Together, let’s empower adult learners, celebrate diversity, and build a thriving, inclusive community. Please consider making DSAEP part of your GivingTuesday giving. Thank you for your generosity and commitment to helping Dripping Springs grow stronger, one student at a time.
