Alex has become a positive role model for his peers, as he is mature and has shared his mathematical talents by providing voluntary tutoring sessions for his peers. He is committed to his community and returns every weekend to learn traditional knowledge from his father, who is the president of the community's weaving cooperative. Alex is also an artist, making bone carvings, clay sculptures, and paintings in his spare time. Alex has found a unique way to combine his artistic talent and passion for technical engineering. This year he helped his parents to remodel their adobe house by designing and creating intricate clay sculptures for the walls of his house. During his school year, Alex participated in Mosqoy's "Kallpa K'oj" program in which students are encouraged to give back to their communities through volunteer services. During his community volunteer work, Alex renovate the elementary-school library in a rural village called Q'enqo. He painted a mural for the library to make it inspiring and culturally appropriate for the young students. Combining these diverse talents, Alex hopes to pursue a career in Architectural Engineering & Design, upon graduating with his degree.

Karina has recently switched her studies from Nursing to Business Administration with a speciality in Tourism. Although the institution through which she was studying Nursing was well-researched and reputable, it has lowered its standards recently. Karina found that she was not being provided with the resources and organization that she needed to gain the proper skill set. Karina is now happily settled into her new career path and continues to dedicate herself to her studies. In her spare time she works as a tutor and a nanny in order to help pay for her schooling. This past year she was active in her community as she participated in her community's Folklore Festival as a traditional dancer celebrating Quechuan culture.

Elizabeth has excelled in her studies of International Business Administration this year at her institution of Khipu. She will be graduating in one more semester and had maintained the best grades in her class at the institute. Under her program, she chose to complete her year-long practicum with Q'ente Textile Revitalization Society [Q'ente] studying fair-trade business models and import/export legislation. Q'ente is a sister program of Mosqoy that facilitates fair-trade market opportunities for indigenous artisans in highland communities in Peru. During this practicum she hiked to six communities per month, acting as a translator during community meetings. She learned about fair-trade purchasing systems and quality control, and was under direct supervision of Mosqoy's textile manager. Now that Elizabeth has finished her practicum she will be graduating this summer. Elizabeth is from a small rural community in the Sacred Valley region of Peru, so it would be very difficult for her family to travel to attend her graduation ceremony in Cusco, Peru. Therefore, Mosqoy will be hosting a graduation ceremony for Elizabeth in her hometown so that family and friends can participate in this event. Elizabeth faced some serious medical problems this year but Mosqoy was able find a Medical Sponsorship to support her medical expenses. Her condition is now being monitored and is under control, and has not interfered significantly with her studies.
