Christmas 2021 Scholarship student Posada 2021


The get together was wonderful this morning. Julia did a wonderful job with the decor.

The only students who could not come were either working or had not finished schoolwork and some are traveling (music to my ears).

The new student candidate for next August 2022 - Evelyn - had to apply for her IFE today. The guys were in town and they only come once a month. She needs that to open her bank account.

The food was prepared by Juanita and her workers, It was OUTSTANDING.

The biggest hit were the ipads, apple computers and tablets. Each student got to choose one. THANKS THANKS THANKS to Pat and Kathy from San Ignacio for getting the donations and mailing to Bajadogs.

Thanks so so so much to Bajadogs who actually had car trouble but still came all the way to La Bocana to drop off the donations.

I cannot thank you all enough! Some of you donated for three kids to come by bus, Some of you do donated for the food. I pitched in for Julia to do the decoration because I know she needs the boost for her business.

Here are some of the photos of the fun. Thanks everyone, thanks very much and MERRY CHRISTMAS.


Alen and Roger looking at Alen's new laptop.








All of us at the table.









Alondra made me this knitting, it took her 2 years. I love it.












There is a joker in every class, right? Roger is our joker LOL I took my xmas decorations to divvy up amongst the students and look what he did with his! We laughed so much.










This year's meeting focus was what kind of job to search for and all of them wrote: a job with health insurance, paid vacations, professional growth and retirement plan. They get it!

I also had them describe themselves and all are so positive now. I remember the first year I asked this question it was 30 minutes before any of them could answer me. It took a couple minutes today and all the answers were I am smart, I am honest, I am a hard worker ....



All of them wrote that they are looking forward to the day when they can support someone in college. Music to my ears.



Here is a photo of some of the ladies.




Olimpia who just finished law school and will be job hunting in Ensenada. Every student got a box with a beautiful San Diego t-shirt, the ladies got a small traditional purse I got in Turkey with a bottle of Russian skin cream as well as a 5 lira bill. They all got either an ipad, laptop or tablet!










It was magical!

Tom and everyone, I really wish you could all have been present!

Pablo told me he is going for a doctorate. We will have a doctor in the scholarship family!!

In a couple days I want to show you the words they wrote.
