VISIONAR Scholarships - July 2019 Report
By Gabriela Mondino | Project Leader
Dear friends of VISIONAR,
In the attached pdf report, you will find the story of one of our scholarship recipients, Gaston. Through Gaston's report, we are hoping you will get a glimpse of the great impact that your contributions are making. We thank you for your continued support!
My name is Gaston, I am 20 years old and, thanks to VISIONAR scholarship
and the support of Atrapasuenos Association (managers of VISIONAR program) I
was able to see my dream come true: to study Construction Engineering, which I
have wanted to do since I was a young boy.
My family struggles to make ends meet. Given our financial situation, my
parents had been trying to dissuade me from studying this field, which is not
offered at university in my home town. Moving to another city to attend
university was not an option my parents could support. That is when VISIONAR
opened a door for me. Representatives of Atrapasuenos Association visited my
home and conducted interviews with my parents and with me. After I submitted my
application and sat through the interviews, I was granted a VISIONAR
scholarship. I was given hope!
I
will never forget that moment I received the news. I decided there and then
that I would try my hardest to face any and all obstacles and make my family
and VISIONAR proud. Hard to believe this was over two years ago already! TO CONTINUE READING, PLEASE OPEN THE ATTACHED FILE.
