Since Eirene was founded in February of 1998, many people have benefited from the love shown to them by the staff and volunteers Christian missionary work.
Over the eleven years of existence, more than 10,000 people have been seen through the dental and homeopathic clinics, and the special medical teams that have come.
Through the school more than one hundred different children and their families have been reached.
Below are stories of changing lives from parents who share about the how the school ministry has helped them and their children and from individuals that have benefited from our medical services:
Estela's story Disabled Son, Adolfo
We started with Eirene about six or seven years ago when the school first began. We have been like founding members of Eirene.
Our son is eleven years old. He has Down syndrome. He is a special child. He has been greatly benefited by Eirene.
Our objectives as parents, in a school, were twofold: a Christian school for Adolfo and a regular school.

These things Eirene has provided for us, both in helping him with his disability, as well as with his Christian life.
We have seen a very positive influence in our family in the sense that Adolfo has been growing with good Christian principles. He has been able to relate with the other students and particularly with the teachers, who have done an incomparable work with him. We are very thankful because of this.
Abundio and Marisela's story Daughter, Ruth
We have known about Eirene for about ten years and have noticed that Ruth has learned things that surprise me. I like the system of the school here.
We are thankful to God that our lives have changed. We are thankful to God and to the church that meets in Eirene’s building. We are thankful to God that we came to know Christ. We have salvation.

And we are thankful to Eirene also for its services for the preschool and the many others. We would recommend the school because it is complete, both in the spiritual and academic aspects of life. It is of great help to us as parents and its services are comprehensive.

Edgar and Maricela's story Son, Edgar Isidro
We have known about Eirene for about three years. My sister recommended the school to us. Her daughter was in the kinder here.
The school is very good. We saw how well she did and wanted to send our son here as well to see for ourselves.
We have seen many positive results. Our son is more open and educated.
Video interview:Edgar and Maricela's story
All that he learns at school, he puts into practice with our family. He has passed along many good things to us.
The majority of the time he looks happy. When he gets sick, he wants to get better to go back to school. He loves to come to school here. He is much more social now since he started at Eirene. He is smarter. We ask him questions and he is able to clearly respond to them.
We would recommend the school because our son has learned good values. Yes, above all his values … he is very respectful, interacts well with both adults and his friends, and is very kind. His level of education is much higher than children his age that go to other schools. We have compared him with other children from those schools.
Fermin and Jessica's story Daughters, Zaira and Jenifer
We have known about Eirene for three years now. Here our daughters have learned good behavior, good learning habits and they have progressed a lot. They have been taught very well.
The teachers are very good. I like this school very much!
We would recommend Eirene because there is nothing else like it.

And, even though it is not incorporated in the government system, the children are well behaved and the teachers and education the children receive are excellent. We wouldn’t change our children’s school. We would recommend it.
Vero's story Daughter, Fátima
I have known about Eirene for ten years since it started in Santa Ana Tepetitlán.
In our lives I have noticed many changes: like, coming to know Christ, because we were not Christians. So we came to know Him.
There is much peace and tranquility, love and a lot of interaction amongst my children.
Video interview: Verotells her story
I would recommend Eirene because it is an institution where we are helped economically so that our children can learn. They work hard to make the school affordable.
Also, in other institutions, they are full. They don’t give the same attention to the children. In these places, the teacher’s don’t have much patience with the children because they may have more than fifty students in the classroom. So there is not the same attention given to our children. But here they do!
The teachers are patient. They understand our children. There are much less students in the classrooms. It is also a good schedule for the children so that we can work to provide for them.
