Dolores L.

Posted on July 31, 2008 by Christen Brandt

Meet Dolores, an 8th grader in the Estrellas Marinas mentoring group at our Guatemala partner, Starfish One by One.

Dolores is the first in her family to receive any schooling and she is already dreaming of college!

Watch the video below to see a short note from Dolores.

If you’d like to leave Dolores a message, you can comment below. We will collect them and send them on to her and update here when she writes back. (Please note, this can sometimes take up to 6 months due to infrastructure issues in Guatemala.)

 

 
Dolores was sponsored in 2011 by Carla Blumenthal and is currently being sponsored in 2012 by Lauren D. and Rachel C.

    Hi Lola!

    It’s so great to meet you — and I’m so proud that you’re in school and dreaming of an amazing future for you! I hope that you’re enjoying school — what’s your favorite thing to study?

    I work for a magazine for teens in the U.S. called J-14 Magazine — and I can’t wait to share your video with all of our readers. I’m sure they’ll be just as proud of you as I am!

    Keep on studying and keep on reaching for your dreams!! We’re rooting for you!

    Love,
    Rachel
