Salvador
Gustavo is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying an agriculture degree at the Salvador Institute of Technology, and is one semester away from graduating. He has worked as a tutor to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,600. The registrar has said Gustavo can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Gustavo has a first-class average, and a professor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Gustavo would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Gustavo isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $1,600 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $770 • Final term tuition: $660 • Exam and lab fees: $50 • Textbooks and materials: $120 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Mariana

  • wishing you the best, Mariana. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.

    • take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Salvador.

      • Sending strength. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
