Project Vision 21 is an eight-year old company, established in February 1997, with offices in Aurora, Colorado. Its purpose is to provide bilingual news and information services to media outlets (radio, television, print media, and the Internet), and to provide consulting services to local small business and non-profit organizations.
During the past eight years, Project Vision 21 produced and distributed more than 4,500 original stories (in English and in Spanish), about the Hispanic community in Colorado, Utah, Nebraska and Iowa. Those stories appeared at least in 30 newspapers in the United States and in several Latin American countries, and in at least 45 web sites. The stories were also used in Denver area radio and television stations.
Project Vision 21 and its web site (www.newsandservices.com) are directed by Francisco Miraval.

Project LEARN (Latino Educators Assisting Residents in Neighborhoods) is an educational initiative created by Francisco Miraval in 2001 to offer better educational opportunities to monolingual, Spanish-speaking persons in Metro Denver area.
The main idea of Project LEARN is to hire Latino immigrants to teach the classes Latino immigrants need, such as computers, English as a Second Language, GED (high school diploma), How to Start your Own Business, How to be successful in America, and community journalism.

During the past four years we have offered classes in churches and community organizations in Denver and in Aurora, Colorado.
We have also contributed with a children’s home in northern Argentina, and we plan to expand our contribution there.
