By Kay Sweeney | Managing Director
In her recent visit to Guatemala, Kay Sweeney, Kateri Managing Director, was able share good news with Rosa, Carmela, and Candelaria, the Guatemalan staff. Thanks to a grant from the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Ministry Fund four additional interns will be integrated into the program. They will join the continuing interns this month for their yearlong internship. Carmela is interviewing and finding placements for them now.
Rosalia, Evelyn, Milvia, and Juana will finish their year in the program. Some of their thoughts on finishing the program are below.
From Rosalia: “First, I thank you for the support that you gave me during all the months of work. I'm about to finish this internship process and I’m extremely grateful that you have supported me.
During this time, I have learned that we must be empathetic and very responsible in our work. I have managed to maintain discipline with my students and motivate those who are shy. It will be a great challenge to serve all children with their different educational needs now that the children will be at school for a full day . It's a radical change for both the children and me. “
From Evelyn: “During my internship we have carried out very interesting activities. It has been a time of much learning and I have been able to contribute in a great way. I am very grateful for this opportunity. It has given me the opportunity to continue training professionally.”
From Milvia: “I thank you very much for your support during these years. Because of you I have reached where I am now. I have fulfilled one of my goals. I still have to fulfill more but I have already taken a great step and I am very happy for that great achievement.”
They all are very appreciative of the support they have received through your donations. We are planning to continue expanding the program. The number of young women who are involved depends on the funding we have available. If you can make an additional donation or move to a recurring monthly donation know that your money will go directly to “Empowering MORE Guatemalan Women with Professional Jobs".
