Veronica, 13, of Yambiro, is one of seven children. Her parents had to borrow money to pay for an eye operation that could not be delayed. They would probably not have the money to pay for this first year of junior high school (7th grade). Veronica is a bright young lady with aspirations to be an architect.

We hope that with this program, young students of the community will not only eventually escape poverty through education, but that they will also return to the community to use that education to better the lives of other locals.
