Alma Ochoa

I greet you cordially, wishing you success with your daily tasks. I send my respectful greetings to all the members and administrators of Project Victoria.

My name is Alma Ochoa and I am the Vice President of this project, something for which I am happy and grateful to God, and my thanks also extend to Marielos Hernández who invited to me to part of this organization. I am trained as a teacher of Urban Primary Education, but I work as a Spanish teacher. My diploma as professor of Spanish as a second language is from the Universidad de San Carlos, and I have also studied at the Universidad de Loyola. I have a special interest in helping the people of Guatemala, who I consider to be my people in the sense that I want to offer my help without discriminating in any way. This is why I participate in Project Victoria without having an economic interest in the work.

I want to thank, on behalf of the 24 scholarship students and their families, the great help that is being provided to them through donations from the United States. I have seen that, for all these students, Project Victoria is a motivation to exert the effort to move ahead with their studies. I also enjoy sharing this experience with the scholarship students and the other members of Asociación Victoria. In my opinion, education is very important for the progress and development of a society and a country. We have now been working on this project for some time, and I have been a witness to the fact that the students are studying hard to pass their exams. I live in a rural area very close to many of the scholarship students, and I see the daily efforts they undertake to move forward. I want to finish by thanking the donors, Marielos, Chris, Roland, and the other members for the excellent work on which they are collaborating. Thank you, best regards,
Alma
