Just received this note from our recent graduate Michelle Jimenez, who graduated with a degree in International & Commercial Business Administration. Here is what she says: "Hello, it's a pleasure to write to you again after a long time. I hope everyone is doing very well. I graduated last year and I spent a year working very hard and without rest. Today I want to tell you that I started my own business. It is a small sports bar on the edge of the beach. I'm still getting started, I hope to grow and gain more customers as time goes by. I am very grateful to you who supported me from the beginning with my studies. Today I am starting in business. I would like you to visit me soon, I send you a big hug 💗".
* Michelle’s sports bar La Chirenita is located on Avenida Rueda Medina across from Cibanco. Between Picus and Luna Grill. The entrance is next to Sandy Crafts.

Isabel who recently graduated with a Law degree is a single mom with two young children, (one is special needs). Isabel is pictured here with her proud Mom, who raised this amazing woman. She is already working on her Master’s degree. Besides going to university and raising her two children, Isabel volunteers with DIF, the social assistance agency on Isla Mujeres. Isabel is an amazing woman. She is an inspiration and she is force of nature. The Isla Mujeres Scholarship Program and her sponsors gave Isabel the opportunity to make her dreams come true. ♥️ Tamara came to us part way through her university education, asking for help to finish. She was close, but had piled up unpaid tuition debt by continuing to attend classes even though she had not paid the tuition. Tamara was that determined to get this education and degree! We were able to step in, get a team formed, and through the combination of her sponsors and our general fund, pay her debts and support her through graduation. Geovanny Avalos de la O was born and raised on Isla Mujeres. In his youth, he worked as a waiter, property manager, boat repairman, lanchero and more. His dream was always to become a psychologist and use his considerable people skills to help people in distress. |
