Thank you GT - You have been been very supportive from the beginning. Cheers.
The goal is only around $1,000 this year because Emilia received a very generous donation from the Mulege Fishing Tournament and she raised $600 over
her goal last year which is being applied now.
Thanks GT for a good start.

I received this letter from Emilia several weeks ago. I'll tell you, our contributions are going to a class act. Not only is she an excellent student,
but also responsible and respectful. I certainly hope to meet her in person some day. We need to continue to help her as best we can, but she is the
one doing the heavy lifting! I am so proud of her grades and the various recognitions she has received. This is one driven young lady. Her family and
community must be very proud.

Thank you WN and thank you JB for your compliments.
The group that has supported Emilia from the start is showing up again and really showing that "Actions express priorities" as Emilia tags her emails.
Peace,

Blanca- you go thru downtown & out the road to Loma Azul (ask anybody if you need to). You will pass Saul Davis' store on your left, and a bit
farther the road ceases to be a "city" road. You will pass along the Rio Mulege estuary to your right. Its maybe a mile down on your left to an open
air, ramshackle restaurant called Pancho Villa's. Pancho is Emi's father, and her mother runs the joint. Ask there and Emi will either be there or
they can direct you.

RD, LK, RB thank you very much.
If you want to meet Emilia she is working everyday at Pancho Villas during her "vacation" while she studies for the US MLE (residency in Seattle is
the hope).
Just drive to the lighthouse and look for the extra bright girl wearing an apron.
Peace,

Thank you CP and JW.....
Every contribution helps and a few bucks (sometimes many bucks - you know who you are) from a lot of different people really makes a difference.

Thank you LL and LB for your support - $770 and climbing.
I just want to reiterate that the chances of a kid from Mulege getting this far and having the opportunity to become a US certified doctor are Irish
Lottery odds.
This would not have happened without your support.
Nice.

Thanks for asking Wilder...CL's contribution has brought the total to just over $800.
Emilia heads back to school on the 16th of August and I am confident she will have met this goal by then.
If you know somebody who likes this kind of patronage feel free to spread the word. Any contribution will get you at least a dozen updates, if you
want them, on the development of an exceptional doctor. You will be able to tell your friends "I helped her way back before she was famous" or the
like.
Peace,

Chatted briefly with Emilia yesterday and gave her a new 32gig USB drive to sequester her files going forward. Hopefully that will be secure whereas
computer gear may come & go. She is excited to be working through her study book for residency placement in the U.S. the book looks like THIS.
Emi will again be receiving our scholarship stipend of $600/semester. But of course she will need much more than that to allow for her advanced study
materials & such.

Shared a cool drink with Emilia at the restaurant yesterday. She spoke of the opportunities that have been presented, read: opportunities earned. She
is one focused young lady.
She is seriously studying for the US medical exams in addition to her Mexican exams. She explained the exam comes in three parts, given over time. The
first two parts are discrete unto themselves; the third is cumulative knowledge. That she has this opportunity is tremendous.
She's also been awarded a teaching position. She observes her students and reports that many of the older people are better focused than the younger.
She holds herself to the highest standard of discipline and comportment, I believe, and she appears to do this with grace and ease.
She also reported having the opportunity to attend a medical conference. A professor is the sponsor of this event and he sponsors his students'
tuition which is about $1000Pesos. Otherwise she'd not be able to attend. I ask you, Nomads, imagine being on such a tight budget that having roughly
$85USD discretionary funds would be out of the question.
If you've ever wished to give to a worthy cause, here it is, folks. Mulege's own native daughter Emilia. Step up, open pocket and give, please. You'll
be helping make the world a finer place.
