Send Baru Students to Training School

Mary working towards her dream

Mary is a young woman whose passion is childcare. She is worried about the limitations many children have, to access to education, as they don’t have their parent’s support. Mary envisions herself as the owner of a school to be able to help her community.

Mary graduated from school in 2023. She wanted to study “Early Childhood Education”, but she was aware it was difficult for her to go to University in Cartagena, as she did not have enough financial resources for transportation, housing and other expenses.

Mary’s mother is in charge of their home and her father is a Fisherman.

But Mary really wanted to prepare herself, so she kept looking for opportunities to access to technical, technological or professional studies, until she found out about the Technical and Entrepreneurship School of Baru, located in Santa Ana and were the Colombian National Training Service (SENA) offers technical careers completely free.

Mary says that she wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, so she enrolled in the Accounting and Financial Operations program, which she didn't know much about and certainly wasn't what she initially wanted. However, she has fell in love with the career and now she sees herself as the accountant of her own school in which, she planes to take care of many children.

“It has been difficult, but I know I would be a great professional. With the training I have received, I have learned that I can achieve my dream of having a school and today I know how to better manage resources. I have a visioned my future and I have set goals in which I am working”.
