Dear friends and donors,
The VISIONAR family keeps growing. We are happy to welcome two new students, Florencia and Maria Paula.
Maria Paula and her two brothers were attending university in the National University in Santa Fe until their father passed away unexpectedly earlier this year. At that point, Maria Paula’s mother, a teacher for in-hospital schooling, was no longer able to afford the education of her three children. The two young men interrupted their studies to find jobs, and Maria Paula returned home to be with her Mom, who encouraged her to continue school at the local university in San Francisco.
The support from VISIONAR will allow Maria Paula to continue her studies and obtain her college degree. Maria Paula is passionate about Forensic Psychology, and wants to be “an excellent professional” who will continue to learn and grow beyond college.
Florencia is a committed student in the field of Psychopedagogy because she loves to help children with learning disabilities. She has a loving and supportive family, and they emphasize the importance of a college education.
When we interviewed Florencia during the application process, she stated that one of the features she likes the most about VISIONAR is that students get to return the generosity of our donors in the form of community service. As part of her community service, Florencia tutors grade school children.
The help to Florencia and Maria Paula would not be possible without your support. Please consider a donation before the end of this year to help us fund these scholarships into 2016. As always, many thanks for helping VISIONAR help these outstanding and deserving students.
Please consider a donation before the end of 2015, to help us with our program into 2016. Any donation is very valuable to us. Although exchange rates fluctuate, a donation of approximately USD $120 will provide one month of assistance to one student (USD $1,440 per student for a full year).
