About

Deniss is a curious dreamer. She has interests in tourism, entrepreneurship and archaeology. She wants to open a "comedor infantil", a cafeteria where children from economically disadvantaged families can get free and healthy meals in Ollantaytambo. The existing cafeteria is unfortunately unreliable and does not fulfill the needs of the children in the region. Furthermore, she plans to offer the unemployed the opportunity to learn to produce traditional textiles by opening an institute that teachers the craft. After finishing her studies in Cusco, Deniss wants to continue her education to broaden her knowledge by traveling to other ancient places in Latin America, like Mexico. She would like to have her own tourist office or work as an archaeologist in the Sacred Valley.

I am writing to students in The School Fund program. Are you in school still? Will you graduate this year? Will you go to school next year? I would love to hear from you.
This year it will be fifty years since I graduated from secondary school. My school is holding a reunion but I think I live too far away to go. But I remember so much about my school years, and I think school made a huge difference in my life. Here is a picture from my graduation. I am the one wearing glasses.

Hola! Mi nombre es Deniss Alvarez Molina. Soy de Ollantaytambo y estudió la carrera profesional de arqueología en la UNSAAC. Tengo 20 años y voy cursando el tercer semestre. La carrera que elegí trate del estudio de los restos muebles e inmuebles dejados por nuestros antepasados. En mis tiempos libres me gusta leer y jugar voley. De Mosqoy me gusta la convivencia que formamos entre todos, los que nos rodean, y el intercambio que realizamos con turistas. Es muy interesante para mi porque asi puedo conocer otras realidades y otras formas de vida. Ahorita estoy en vacaciones pero pronto regreso a Cusco a continuar mis estudios. Gracias por el apoyo!

Hello! My name is Deniss Alvarez Molina. I’m from Ollantaytambo and I study archeology at the Universidad Nacional San Antonio Abad del Cusco (UNSAAC). I am 20 years old and I am currently in the 3rd semester of my studies. The subject that I chose has to do with studying the remains of artifacts and ruins left by our ancestors. In my free time I like to read and play volleyball. At Mosqoy I like the people I get to spend time with, the interdependence and coexistence that we have formed with each other, and the exchanges that we have with tourists and volunteers. It’s very interesting for me because it allows me to get to know other realities and ways of life. I am currently on vacation but soon I will return to Cusco to continue my studies. Thank you for your support!

    The experience that I had early in life was to score good marks in my class, whereby I got good grades which encouraged me to study hard in class. The difficult experience that occurred in my life was an accident on my way back home. I learnt that I should not play again in bad areas. In my life I am proud of myself. I was getting low marks in class but now I have managed to improve a lot. The most memorable and happiest thing in my life is to play football. It exercises my body regularly and hence strengthens my body system. My dream is to become a mechanical engineer. The best way to reach it is through studying hard in school, in physics, mathematics and chemistry. If I had power in my country, I would change the education system of the country so that it helps graduates to depend more on self-employment.

    I have experience planting vegetables because my parents do that. Also, we have a garden at our home. Therefore, that is experience I have had in life. Apart from that experience, I also had a difficult experience when I failed my geography exam. That enabled me to learn how to cooperate with other students. I was so proud of myself when I performed well in my national exam. The memorable and happiest moment in my life will be when I reach my dream of being pilot. I will be so happy. My biggest dream is to be a pilot. I will get there through studying hard in physics, geography, and mathematics. After reaching my dream, I will help my parents to modify their cultivation system and to become professional farmers. From there they can expand the area of cultivation into a large plantation. Once I get a chance to have the power to change my country, I will build many airports in each region and some districts. This will help in the flexibility of transportation in my country.

    Experiences in my life are when I failed my examination during primary education and also when my parents failed to pay food for me. My difficult experiences in my life are when my parents have insufficient enough money to pay for all my basic needs at school such as food and other school contributions. The thing that makes me feel so proud of myself is when I succeeded in joining O-level education. This makes me feel that I will, I must, I can do everything. The most memorable and happiest thing in my life will be to reach my dream of being a doctor general so as I can help other people in society. My future dream is to be a GOOD surgical doctor. After me reaching my dream, I will give back help to my society and family, but also to WEF. I need to work hard upon reaching my dream in my life. Once I get chance to have power of changing anything in country, I will improve the education system by converting science subjects from theory to practical. In most of our schools, they teach science subjects mostly theoretically. I will start from there because as we know education is the key to every success in our people.
