The Isla Scholarship Program changes lives

2/25/2024

0 Comments

 

​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.
He became a medic/EMT and volunteered at the Red Cross on Isla Mujeres. Ten years ago he became involved with the Isla Diabetes Clinic, and continues to give his time and dedication to it, currently as the co-director of this very important non-profit. 
At age 40, through the help of the Isla Scholarship Program, he began his university studies, and after several years of hard work earned his degree and professional license in clinical psychology. It is now opening pathways to his dreams.  It is clear this man’s education will have positive ripple effects far beyond what we can imagine. We are so proud to have helped this pillar of the Isla Mujeres community!  
The Isla Scholarship Program changes lives. Supporting it is a perfect way to both give back and pay it forward!

I realize that not everyone is a fan of tattoos. When tattoos are done right, they are amazing pieces of art. Tattoo Studio Ixchel has donated two gift certificates to the Isla Mujeres Scholarship Program’s fundraiser drawing. 
I hope that the winners of these certificates will be pleased to have beautiful pieces of work done by Yami and her staff.

Alumni Paloma is doing great and is working at Garrafon as an accountant and really enjoying it. In January she will be going back to university for her masters in Accounting specializing in Tax Accounting.

Paloma has taken the initiative to do the research and has chosen the masters program that will work the best for her. The degree will take 1 year and 4 month. She will need to cross over to Cancun once a week, on Saturdays, so she will still be able to work. The Isla Mujeres Scholarship Program will be supporting Paloma with funds for to cover her semester tuition. fees.

We are so proud of Paloma and wish her the best as she prepares to take the next step towards reaching her goals and dreams.

Meet Alexandra

​Sponsors are need for Team Alexandra. 

Alexandra is a new student to us, but has already started at the University of Humanities in Cancun, studying Psychology. Alexandra, who is a seventh-term psychology student and who studies in a hybrid system studying one day a week. Under normal conditions, her family could continue supporting her study, but since her mother suffers kidney failure (she is a patient at the Isla Diabetics Clinic) she is receiving hemodialysis twice a week and had to leave her job since she does not have the energy to continue working. I see in the mother's words a cry for help to avoid that her daughter stops studying because she cannot pay for her studies.
Alexandra is single parenting her 5 year old son. She is very artist and has entered drawings in competitions.

If you are interested in becoming a sponsor for Alexandra, contact Team Captain Jackie Conlon.
