In Her Own Words

As the school year in Guatemala draws to a close, we celebrate the achievements of our scholarship recipients. With the financial support of our donors and the support of their families, these girls are passionate about their education and have big dreams. 

 

We asked them about these dreams and here is what they have to say:
