She is one of the beneficiaries of our Foundation, a resilient woman with unparalleled energy and a heart full of nobility and love; She is a mother of 3 children and grandmother of 8 beautiful children. In addition, she is a living example that it is never too late to fulfill her dreams, because at 73 years old she is making one of them come true.
“Since I was a child I dreamed of being an Architect and when I found out about the call I felt a burst of emotion in my heart, that's why I decided to sign up and enjoy the process” – She says that her learning about the course has been notable, as she stands out for his grades and permanent attendance at classes.
For her, age is not a limit to the fulfillment of her dreams and she mentions that, although it is not a university degree, she feels fulfilled; one of her grandchildren even supports her in her learning process.
The experience in the SENA facilities has been one of the best in their learning process because it brings them closer to the reality of what they study and now they understand the meaning of each brick placed in a construction.
“Thanks to the foundation and the people who contribute to make this project a reality”
