Imagine a future in which the color of a child's skin, the language a child speaks and the side of town a child comes from are no longer considered barriers to a great education and a great life.
- Dr. Maria "Cuca" Robledo Montecel, Ph.D.
 

IDRA is an independent, non-profit organization that advocates the right of every child to a quality education.
