We are proud to announce that we have a graduate in Santa Cruz, Noelia Soto (Bachelor of psychology). Three more students are continuing their studies, including our newest student, an architecture major. In more great news, Gabriela Cuellar is our first graduate from our satellite site in Vallegrande, Bolivia. Another student is slated to graduate shortly. Two more students continue at Vallegrande.
Each scholarship recipient is selected from the Moro Moro secondary school. The scholarship winner must be a top student who also demonstrates financial need.
Your past gifts have made this scholarship possible! Like previous scholars, the children of Moro Moro have limited chances at a higher education without this scholarship.
Moro Moro, our father's hometown, is in the eastern foothills of the Andes in Bolivia, South America. The town is 12 hours from the nearest large city.
We expect operating costs to remain around $1,400 (USD) per student. Your gift will have a direct impact on the lives of deserving young scholars like Noelia, Gabriela, and Franklin. Please consider supporting this vital effort.
