It was thus, as moved by the love of their land and with the experience of having spent hardships far from their families to be able to conclude their studies, they set to work to raise funds and start with this great dream, which very soon became a reality. First, they rented a building where they housed six young people, got donors to condition it, and spent a year in the place, later the government offered them a house on loan in the Las Quintas neighborhood, with an income of 3 thousand pesos per month, where they stayed for about two years. From that time to date, there are 20 students who stay at the Casa del Estudiante de San Ignacio IAP, which is located in the Obrero Campesino neighborhood, six blocks from Ciudad Universitaria. Guillermina Nieblas Beltrán, administrator of the House, said that all the expenses involved in keeping these young people in this place are obtained through donations made by companies and individuals, boteo, raffles, food marathons and cleaning supplies, among others. He pointed out that young people have the right to lodging, quality food three times a day, computer area to perform their tasks and air-conditioned rooms, they also receive English classes, which are taught by exchange youth, in addition to values courses. In each young person they invest about a thousand pesos per year, so they have to be constantly in search of resources to guarantee their stay and that they do not see the need to truncate their studies. In addition, agreements have been sought with some private universities such as the U of O, where they study thembefore they have a one hundred percent scholarship, also the Tec de Monterrey, grants a scholarship for one of them. The requirements to enter are; be originally from the municipality of San Ignacio, be of limited economic resources, have a minimum average of 8.5, and present themselves to an interview.
