Fiorela lives with her parents and has 3 younger siblings. Fiorela's dad is a farmer and mom is a housewife and in order to reach high school each day, Fiorela and other students from Soccma would take a 1 hour ride in the back of a cattle truck, and then walk for 2 hours. She wants to study to be an Official Tour Guide because in her community there are archaeological tourism centres that could be a base for her. She would like to form a tourism agency and provide employment to the people in her town, which would allow their children to study. Fiorela’s community, Soccma, is the poorest in the Ollantaytambo district.
“Above all, I would like to be a professional, a leader in my college and in my community, for the progress of myself and my community.”
Hello Dear Sponsor,
How are you? I am Fiorela Orihuela Aguilar and I am from the community of Soccma. I am writing this note to you to show my appreciation and to tell you thank you for your support. I will never fail you and I will get ahead because of your support. Before I couldn’t and didn’t plan on studying because of a lack of finances. I am 17 years old and I am the eldest daughter in my family. I want to be an example for my sisters. I have 3 younger sisters. The career that I picked is Official Tourist Guide because I like English a lot and adventure and traveling and visiting places.
Not having more to tell you, I hope that you keep going, understanding supporter as always, many thanks for your support. I will never forget you and you will always be in my heart. I really would like to and am anxious to meet you. Bye. Take care and may God bless you and your dear family!
Fiorela Orihuela
Sincerely
