Thank you! Gracias! From all of us at Para Adelante!
All of us at Para Adelante are very humbled and grateful to be part of the group of organizations supported by GlobalGiving and all its supporters. We would like to thank everyone who has supported and those who continue to support us and the women. Our hearts go out to all those all over the world who are still suffering and struggling during these difficult times.
Our women continue to make us proud as they stay dedicated to their studies, despite the struggles they have been presented with. The ladies are in the last weeks of the semester and getting ready for final exams. Dolores and her son are still coping with the loss of her son’s father. Despite all of the things she is juggling, she is still doing well in her classes. Next week she will be defending her thesis virtually in front of three licensed social workers which will judge her work. She is nervous and stressed, which is natural, but we have no doubts she will do well as she always does.
The ladies continue to tell us how grateful they are the organization and all the donors who help provide this opportunity for them to better their lives and those of their families and communities. These women continue to embody the Para Adelante spirit and continue to inspire us. With that inspiration, we are still staying busy building our online store where we sell a variety of beautiful, one of kind accessories handmade by women in Guatemala with 100% of the net profits going to fund the scholarships. These items can be found on our website (http://paraadelante.org/shop/) with more inventory to be posted and we hope to launch a Shopify store to reach even more people and fund more scholarships to help more women and their families.
You can find more updates on all the women by following our social media pages below.
