Adelfa
The Power of Education
The well-known civil rights attorney, Adelfa Callejo used her education to advance the causes that were dear to her and to her community: immigration, human rights and education itself. Adelfa often said that one of the reasons she was able to reach so many people and be so successful was because of her education. Adelfa advocated for education rights and reform because she believed that education empowers people and their community.
The Callejo-Botello Foundation was created to fund Adelfa’s mission to fund scholarships and promote education by providing information on how individuals, educators and the community at large can help themselves by being informed, vocal and persuasive in education matters.
