Thank you for your loyal support of Peruvian Hearts and the young women we support in our education and empowerment program. Your ongoing generosity and dedication allow us to offer these bright young women opportunities to grow and pursue their dreams. We are excited to share some inspiring updates from the last four months!
Two more scholars, Lucero (Psychology) and Yanet (Information & Systems Engineering), have earned their bachelor’s degrees from Andina University and UNSAAC, respectively. Nine more scholars have defended their theses: Medalid (Psychology), Adriela (Psychology), Ruth Katherine (Business Administration), Jhima (Education), Aldyny (Systems Engineering), Lizbeth (Psychology), Nikole (Mathematics), Melani (Business Administration), and Lurdes (Psychology), Maribel (Acounting). Bringing our total alumni count to 35, we are incredibly proud of the precedent that these new PH Alumni are setting for other girls and women in their families and communities. We are grateful for recent collaborations with friends of Peruvian Hearts to build up the PH Scholars. Executive coach Susana Ferrel and her team have generously gifted their time to host a series of workshops such as “The Power of Self-Knowledge” and “Emotional Agility.” These sessions, curated specifically for the PH Scholars and our team, have and continue to provide valuable tools for empowerment both personally and professionally.
In July, the Ayers Foundation from Pennsylvania thoughtfully invited all of the PH Scholars and Team to visit Machu Picchu as a group. Despite living their whole lives near this iconic landmark, the cost makes it economically unfeasible for most locals to visit. We are thankful for the generosity and kindness of the Ayers Foundation, who share our vision of holistic support: one that extends far beyond a university scholarship. These experiences help the young women in our program to form even stronger bonds and empowers them to be proud of where they come from, who they are, and to dream bigger.
