For Mayra, this year was very special because it was her last year of school. She graduated from high school!
It has been a long road. She left school after fifth grade. Her family did not think a girl needed to be educated. As the years passed she felt frustrated in the life she was leading. Fortunately, in 2004, she met Candelaria Sut, a member of the Kateri Fund staff. She expressed her frustration to Candelaria. Candelaria told her about the Kateri Fund and encouraged her to apply for a scholarship and go back to school. After ten years, at 23 years old, she went back to elementary school and finished sixth grade. Now, in 2019, she has a high school certificate and a career as a secretary and office worker ahead of her. Her life has changed thanks to the support all of you have given her. She says thank you.
