Meet the students
Génesis
“I am Genesis. I am 17 years old and one of my biggest dreams is to use my studies and knowledge to help women, girls and young people who have suffered any kind of violence to be heard, supported and to enforce their rights.
I would also like to help animals to have a better life, free of mistreatment.
In my free time I like to be with my family, and I like to read and listen to music and podcasts about criminologists and organizations that help people who have suffered abuse.”
—Génesis, 17

“Hi, I’m Edwin, I’m 16 years old and my dream is to work with Google or Microsoft; with a big company that generates income for me so I can help other people with scholarships.
In my free time I like to study languages, learn new words in Japanese and Russian, play chess and read. I would like my school to be recognized for its academic quality and for being one of the best in our community.”

Meet a teacher
“My name is Ana Yansi, director of the Amalia Vda de Menéndez School.
This educational center represents a well-disciplined institution that faces several challenges, such as the need for furniture and resources, more classrooms to promote learning, and greater parental support for their children’s academic development.
Here we seek to provide students with the necessary competencies to contribute to the development of skills that will help them at the university and work levels in the coming years, and we are motivated to continue teaching and generating good results.”
—Teacher Ana Yansi
