Doris is one of our young deserving women looking to continue her academic career past high school. A student from our San Isidro center, she is entering her second year of technical studies, in administration and accounting.
A summary of her application profile includes:
Age: 20
Family Situation: Doris lives with her mother, two siblings and two other family members.
Home Situation: Doris lives in a small, wooden house, with just three small rooms for the six members of her family. Although their house is small, they are fortunate to have electricity and running water.
Family Income: Doris’ mother is a seamstress, and works out of the house doing small sewing jobs for other families in the community. Her older brother also works as a security guard, to supplement the family’s income. Despite their hard work, the family’s monthly income is only about seventy five dollars, barely enough to cover their basic needs. Although Doris’ family is supportive of her educational goals, they do not have the financial capacity to pay for her studies.
Hopes & Dreams: Doris values her education highly, and knows that it is the best way to improve conditions for her family and her community. She is also willing to make sacrifices in order to see her dream come true. She works hard to get good grades, and also continues to help to educate the children in her community, through her volunteer activities at the Fabretto center in San Isidro.
