Jenipher writes: "I am the last born in my family of 2 sisters. I live with my aunt I don't know my parents. Even when I ask about my parents no one gives me a straight answer. I want very much to know about my parents but they seem to be a puzzle. My aunt, uncle and I depend on farming but they don't earn enough money to support me in my studies, which is why I have been sent back home several times for failing to pay school fees."

Sandra will be graduating this year from her institute as a trained accountant. Sandra is from a small rural community in the Sacred Valley region of Peru, so it would be very difficult for her family to travel attend her graduation ceremony in Cusco, Peru. Therefore, Mosqoy will be hosting a graduation ceremony for Sandra in her hometown so that family and friends can participate in this event. During her school year, Sandra also participated in Mosqoy's "Kallpa K'oj" program in which students are encouraged to give back to their communities through volunteer services. Sandra decided to assist in the construction of the Bombon Weaving Center for this service. Mosqoy volunteers were incredibly impressed with her dedication and work ethic as she worked all day to haul large eucalyptus logs out from the jungle to build the weaving center. Sandra has been faced with some challenging family circumstances this year. However, she has chosen to continue focusing on her studies and spending time with her new friends and peers, and has excelled in the program.

Irene has recently switched her studies from Nursing to International Business Administration. Although the institution through which she was studying Nursing was well-researched and reputable, it has declined in its standards this past year. She found that she was not being provided with the resources and organization that she needed to gain the proper skill set. Mosqoy will now be looking for funding opportunities to cover the additional costs of enrolling students in more reliable nursing programs that can be offered through universities in the future; however, in order to graduate in the near future, Irene chose to pursue another career path. She is now very happy with her decision to switch and is dedicated to her new program.
