    Francisco Jimenez's life, from child migrant worker to award-winning author and university professor, embodies the transformational hope, opportunity and community contribution that an education can make possible. His story begun in The Circuit: stories from the life of a migrant child, and Breaking Through, continues in Reaching Out - a tender, and honest sequel which describes from a young Francisco's voice the challenges he faced in his efforts to continue his education.

    This event will benefit The Peninsula College Fund.
