Our Partners
The David Lynch Foundation
Thanks to the David Lynch Foundation, Anahuacalmecac has been awarded a grant to continue the expansion of the TM Program for all of our 6th through 12th grade students. The grant has covered scholarships for stress reduction instruction as well as professional training in Transcendental Meditation. The support for the TM Program at Semillas has also supported a cultural guide from our own community to enhance the program and ensure respect for the spiritual and cultural integrity of the school community.
