Invest in Her Tomorrow

By Antarah Chopra | Executive Assistant

As Mariposa’s success grows at exponential rates, the high-achieving Mariposa girls are setting their goals higher than ever. We are excited to present Rosmeily, Mariposa girl, future UWC Costa Rica student and world leader. We are beyond proud to share that Rosmeily was recently admitted to UWC Costa Rica as part of their SASSY Program aimed to provide educational assistance to young students in need. With your support, Rosmeily will embark on the most transformational adventure of her lifetime at United World College Costa Rica starting this August 2025. 

Thanks to your support, Rosmeily has pushed herself to study hard, develop new passions, and become the best leader she possibly can as a Mariposa girl. She has excelled in Mariposa programs since becoming a Mariposa girl at 8 years old. For over a decade, she has thrived in classes from math, health & wellness, and creative writing to volleyball, mountain biking, and surfing. 

Although Rosmeily grew up with a debilitating fear of the ocean and water, she is one of Mariposa’s best surfers and even entered into a local surf competition this past winter! Rosmeily is inspired by a passion for marine life, biology, and environmental conservation. She dreams of becoming a marine biologist and furthering her education to one day return to Cabarete and create positive lasting change she has wished for since a young age. 

The continued contributions from this community have undoubtedly unleashed the leader in Rosmeily. Your support over the years has helped us grow and supported so many girls, now is the time to invest in the future and Rosmeily. 

In order for this incredible young woman to attend and pursue her dreams at UWC Costa Rica, she needs your support. We are hoping to raise $25,000 over the next month to provide her with partial tuition assistance (matched by UWC Costa Rica), airfare, spending money, and extra necessities any girl would need as they move to a new country to pursue their dreams. 

Thank you for your invaluable support. Together we are unleashing and empowering the leader in hundreds of growing Dominican and Haitian Mariposa girls.
