¿QUÉ IMPACTO HA TENIDO EL PROGRAMA DE BECAS EN TU VIDA?? The program has had a positive impact. I have access to university education thanks to the resources provided by the scholarship. Without the program, I wouldn’t have studied, as my mother doesn’t have a stable income, and my father’s salary is not enough to cover all the household expenses.

¿QUÉ IMPACTO HA TENIDO EL PROGRAMA DE BECAS EN TU COMUNIDAD?? Thanks to the support of the scholarship program, many young people have started and finished their university education. Thanks to that, the community continues to advance with professionals who are an important component in the development of Cinquera.

CUÁLES HAN SIDO TUS MAYORES OBSTÁCULOS PARA CONTINUAR TU EDUCACIÓN? The main obstacle is my family’s economic situation, as it’s not easy to cover all the university expenses, in addition, the household expenses are many, and my sister is also in school.

¿CUÁLES SON TUS PLANES DESPUÉS DE GRADUARTE DE LA ESCUELA SECUNDARIA O LA UNIVERSIDAD?? Contribute to my community and the country in general through my knowledge. I want to work and help my family economically.
