Julian is the younger brother of our amazing student Isabel. Julian has asked us for help because his family is struggling financially. He has started his journey at University studying Physical Education and is in need of financial assistance. He was OVERJOYED when we accepted him into the program and said that he was crying happy tears and couldn't wait to rush home to tell his mother and sister.
Julian’s dream is to coach and mentor children and to be that adult in their life that believes in them and makes a difference. He is a very special young man who wants to make the world a better place through his love of sports.
We are super excited to be able to help him achieve his dreams. The Isla Mujeres’s Scholarship Program would love to have you join Team Julian to help him achieve those dreams. Please contact us if you would be interested in becoming part of the Team Julian.

Caro’s short note is full of fantastic news. Caro has been living with a lot of stress, and both sources seem to be relieved with this letter. She is now full of so much more energy and hope for the future!.
Caro’s two-year-old son Neithan was diagnosed about a year ago with severe hemophilia. He was hospitalized last month and they were able to administer a treatment that will help his blood to clot. They were lucky to find the treatment in Cancun. But Caro now says the good news is they know the treatment works but they will have to go to Merida to have further treatment.
Caro wrote:
“I couldn't wait to write to you and give you this great news, my degree arrived and it's official and legal that I have a degree in educational sciences and of course it's more yours than mine because that degree was made thanks to you, for believing in me, for your love and for accompanying me because you never left me alone.
The doctor gave me the great news that Neithan will receive his treatment, after 2 years of waiting he will finally have it and his life will no longer be in so much danger, the road is long we still have many things to do, we will go to Merida as soon as they let us know the day but there is already hope for him to improve his quality of life.
I am very happy finally after so much sadness we begin to see the light, thank you for taking care of us and for having asked God for us we love you♥️”

Jaqueline’s nursing internship will finish at the end of July. After she completes her internship and receives her license and title to practice, she will be a fully licensed nurse. Jaqueline is qualified to get her Maestrea and she wants to specialize in intensive care. The class work is one year, and the clinical work is one more year. The Isla Mujeres Scholarship Program will continue to support Jaqueline through the nursing masters program which begins in January 2025.
When Jaqueline was informed of our decision to continue to support her through the masters program, she replied with a very happy text "The best news I could possibly receive!"
Jaqueline has been a rockstar! Jana, one of the scholarship program administrators had this to say about Jaqueline “I feel like we owe it to the world to provide the best Jaqueline that we can give. She’s absolutely amazing.
Jaqueline said in a recent email “I love my job being a nurse, and like me there are many more who want everything to improve in the world. I want to thank you for always being there for me, I always carry you in my heart, without your support I don't know what would become of us, my mother is always grateful to you. You are a fundamental part of all this, this is also yours, you managed to build this fundamental step in my life. I love each and every one of you who has trusted me.”

Eli who is studying Business Innovation at University in Cancun has been working very hard toward the goal of working at Disneyworld in Orlando, Florida as a part of the Disney International Program. He went through the application and interview process and he was accepted into the program where he will be working in the Food and Beverage department this summer from June 3 to August 8. This is a paid internship program that is all about cultural exchange and brings in people from around the world.
The preparation for this trip has been expensive and exhausting, but Eli has been working extremely hard to secure his visa and working weekends on Isla Mujeres at Coco Beach Club to earn the money that he needs to get to Florida and to pay his first installment for lodging. The members of this program stay in a dorm like community, have access to free transportation and Disney discounts.
Eli is so excited about this opportunity to be able to practice his English each day and to experience living in another culture. He is looking forward to meeting people from around the world and expanding his world view.
We are thrilled for Eli to have this fabulous experience. Last year Eli was hosted by his team captains Robyn and Carl and spent a month in Canada attending an English university program. I can’t wait to see photos of Eli’s Big Disney Adventure!

 | Antonio (Nata) is about 1/2 through a Communications degree (photography) at Univ del Sur in Cancun. Currently Nata does not have his own computer. He is borrowing the computer of another one of our students, who is a good friend of his family. We will be purchasing a computer for him. Nata will be a semester only student. We will be sending him scholarship money for semester registration and tuition January, May and September. This is an example of what we use money from our fundraisers for. We won’t be having a team of sponsors contributing monthly toward Nata’s scholarship. We will, however accept one time payments to help cover the cost of his scholarship. “My name is Antonio Natanael Dominguez Medina. The reason for this letter is to thank you for accepting me to the scholarship program. Thank you very much for trusting me and giving me this opportunity to show each of you how capable I am and with your support the success that we will achieve together. I am in exam week and I am starting with a proposal for a PBL (project-based learning) project. I chose the topic of Mayan inclusion. Currently at the end of April I will share the final result with you. I am very excited to carry out the project. This week I had a first team soccer semifinal match and we lost. However I feel that defeats are experiences to avoid making the same mistake again and improve. I would still like you to know a little more about the work of photography that I have taken.” |
