Silvia Tum, director of Abriendo Oportunidades, has just visited the networks of mentors working in Alta Verapaz and Sololá, and came back with great plans for what is to come. Although Silvia had already worked with the mentors, this was the official presentation of the new program director to the young women working with AO. The mentors even got to take Silvia for a hike -see the photos below- to explore possible spaces to continue the project.
In this visit, Silvia, the mentors and the Council staff joined a brainstorm meeting to explore new collaborations and ways of working in the future, as the networks continue their journey towards independence and autonomy. Our dream is to see them succeed in their mission to help and transform the reality of rural indigenous girls in their home towns -and Mesoamérica-. We know they have all and more of the abilities and assets to follow on that task. As they prepared for the transitions, plans are being made for assuring the program’s sustainability and we will keep you updated in this process.
We are very grateful for your donations while we continue this project. Our Mother’s Day Campaign was a big hit, and we could not have made it without you and your support. Thank you for continuing to believe in the mentors' conviction.
Best,
