Estela is a remarkable girl. Why? Let’s consider that she’s an impoverished Q’anjob’al Maya who lives in a country scarred from centuries of racial discrimination. Moreover she lives in a society where girls don’t count. Discrimination and crushing poverty mean that fewer than 1 percent of indigenous girls from this region are able to graduate from high school. In spite of the formidable odds against her Estela will receive her diploma next week. Here, she is shown with the book “Donde No Hay Doctor” (Where There is No Doctor), sent to her from her Finding Freedom Through Friendship, her scholarship sponsor. The book signifies her first step toward training as a nurse. What a remarkable future for Estela! If you would like to become part of this transformative process and help a young Mayan person leave poverty and discrimination behind through supporting a scholarship, please write to us at guatvillage@aol.
