Project Amigo

Tatiana Salvador Lopez is from a small agricultural village in Mexico. She is one of nine children. Her parents have only a basic level of education, and have worked low-paying, manual labor jobs to support their family. Their house is small and their living conditions are 'basic'. In November, 20129, Tatiana graduated from the University of Colima, with a degree in architecture. From 7th grade through university, her education was supported by a scholarship from Project Amigo, a non-profit organization that was started by California Rotarians 30 years ago. 

 

Nicole met Tatiana in 2016, during her first service trip with Project Amigo. Over the years, and many visits, they have formed a special friendship and bond, and Jed & Nicole are thrilled to host Tatiana for a 5-week visit. Nicole & Tatiana so are excited to share with you about the work that Project Amigo does and the impact that education can have in breaking the cycle of poverty, one student and family at a time. Due to an inexplicable stroke of luck (read; miracle), Tatiana was granted a 10-year US tourist visa, so this is a rare and valuable opportunity to hear from an amazing young woman, whose life has been massively impacted by the generosity and work of people living the tenet of 'Service Above Self".
