Enrique is our latest graduate, October is the date. As with everything graduation related now, it will be an online ceremony.
We have sponsored Enrique since high school, Here is a photo of when he was my English student here in La Bocana, I had the scholarship students
come over to the hotel to learn how to cook - this day they were making lasagna! Enrique in his dark sweater and Alen (the one who is starting up the
fertilizer company) stirring.

He is preparing to defend his thesis in a couple days. It took him 6 months longer but finally he is done done done.
He must pay for the diploma and i am wondering if anyone wants to be his last sponsor? The charge is $3000 pesos or $150.
Then, 2 days ago I had a visit from Lesly. This year she is a senior in high school. She was my English student in middle school and she is smart
and incredibly mature for her age. We always cover her public school fees which are $800 pesos this year.

This time she came with a friend named Regina. Regina comes from a ranch in Baja Norte and this is her first time in the "big city". An aunt has
offered to let her live with her here but she is struggling to make ends meet. They also asked for help covering the $800 peso fees for high school.

Regina told me her grades were not so good for 8th grades since she had a lot of problems at home. She did not want to go into detail, I will meet
one on one with her sometime in the future to see if I can understand better. Lesly has promised to work with her to make sure she understands the
material.
So, I could use some help with these ladies! Here they are at the garden table here at the house. I gave them notebooks, pens and white xerox
sheets that you all donated.

Regina is going to need a laptop.
$800 pesos rounds up to $40 each student.
H E L P please.

Enrique covered! OMGosh, you have no idea how relieved I am! Having a title is the most important part of graduation...basically, it is fundamental
in getting a real good job. It is sometimes a year long process, so different from the US system.
Thank you thank you thank you ALL OF YOUSE!!!
