Aireko Enterprises has been committed to education since its inception in 1963.

Fundación Aireko is mostly dedicated to awarding scholarships to college students with limited or no financial resources pursuing an engineering degree.

In 2000, Aireko Enterprises awarded the Quique and Vicky Rossi Scholarship in the amount of $100,000 to the Turabo University to be disbursed in a period of five years, with matching funds from the Ana G. Méndez Univeristy System, to which Turabo University belongs. The recipients that benefited from these funds were engineering students with limited financial resources.

Aireko Enterprises also donated the entrance to the University of Sacred Heart in San Juan.  As part of the University’s project named “Sagrado Reverdece”, the entrance renovation, completed in only sixty days, included land survey and removal, mechanical and electrical installations to provide lightning and electric gates as well as a new bus stop shelter and a guard house.

Aireko has contributed to the following organizations and/or entities during the fiscal year 2006-2007:

--
SER of Puerto Rico, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing educational and rehabilitation services to disabled adults and children.

-- Build Up & On Site, an educational program created by the Associated General Contractors (AGC) Puerto Rico Chapter for middle school students of the Puerto Rico public school system, which stimulates and engages students in learning activities relating to the construction industry. Real construction lessons are given to students to observe and think about the construction of bridges, highways, hi-rises and communities. Important concepts as to Social Studies, English, Math, Science and the Art of Language are embedded in the program.

Aireko adopted the Myrna M. Fuentes Public School in Caguas, PR, where
Engineers Héctor Rivera Russe and José W. Pérez work with sixth grade students.

Eng. Rivera Russe represents Aireko in the Build Up program and works with 28 students on the construction of a bridge, which they named the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, inspired by a bridge located in Tampa, FL.



Eng. Pérez participates on the On Site program and works with 29 students in the design of a scale model of a community and a bridge, in addition to performing a permanent improvement to their school. The students painted the school’s inneryard and benches, fitted out the game areas, worked on installation of electrical circuits to be able to use computers in science class, and are working on the schoolyard and a committee to assure its maintenance and preservation.
