Dominga Chopén Churunel

Dear friend,

My name is Dominga Chopén Churunel.
I am 17 years old.

I speak the language Kaqchikel.
I am studying third year (Básico) of high school.
My parents were affected by the war in the years 1980 and 1981.

My dad left us 6 years ago and now only my mother is struggling for us.

I have three small sisters, because of this I ask you for your help to be able to study.

My dream is to be a bilingual teacher.

I am a young woman of little resources, we were very affected in the armed conflict. My grandparents and aunts were burned alive and in my village many women became widows.

I need help to be able to realize my dreams and to help my people and my family.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Dominga Chopén Churunel

From Pujujil, Solola.
