Dina wants to study to become a professional because she wants to build a better life than her parents. "If they made me study, it was so that I can become something in my life, and later be able to help them." She wants to be a nurse or a chef. One of her main goals is to learn to speak different languages. She also wants to support her parents and siblings with the skills and financial independence she requires. She is the number one student in her graduating class at Colegio Ollantay, and is a leader in the community. She volunteers at the local cultural museum, CATCCO, in a youth program, and is filled with ideas and dreams. Her older brother, Ebhert, is one of Mosqoy's sponsored students from the first group of students, and remains a leader in his classes, peers, and household.
Dina is nearing completion of her first year of university in good standing, and is therefor eligible for a second year's funding!
*Please note that this scholarship is for $400. Whereas the first year scholarship covered her total annual costs of $1000, this year Education Generation is funding $400 and Mosqoy has secured alternative funding for the remainder.

Marleni, Jonathan, Cynthya, Guillermina, Jonathan, and Dina are all enrolled in post-secondary schools in Cusco, Peru. They began their studies in August/September of 2008. The students have begun their second semester of studies and they are waiting for their grades for the first semester. The students are all doing really well and are happy living together with the other Mosqoy students in Cusco. They have also enjoyed having an English tutor come regularly to help them with their studies. The students have expressed a great deal of thanks to all of the sponsors who have made their dreams possible.
Personal updates coming soon!
