The beginning of this school year has represented a significant challenge, both academically and emotionally, for millions of students around the world.
In our organization, Peraj, we adapted our educational model to support our students in a virtual manner. Due to the situation of the world, we were able to make an open call to our mentors in their respective Universities in order for them to help us keep our program going in the confinement situation.
Our principal concern was that the response of the mentors to help in our organization was going to be less than in past years due to the global pandemic that the world is facing. As always, our mentors exceeded our expectations. Young university students responded exceptionally and because of them our program is still going nowadays. Today we have 1,320 registered mentors, willing to support children that study from home.
We are very proud to share this great news. Our mentors have always been an example of solidarity, perseverance, success, and empathy for each of the mentees with whom they share experiences and help them grow during their Peraj experience. Our mentors are an amazing example of leaders of society who are willing to make a difference in the world in order for all to have a better future. No matter how hard the situation is, our mentors have never let us down. They are a global example of leaders motivated by their willingness to help others.
We want to thank everyone who has made possible this amazing project.
