Shirly wants to be an English teacher

Shirly-Marleni-Lpez-Tambrz
Dear Prashant,

Shirly is nine years old and in the thirrd grade at her local primary school. Though she lives in Xejuyup, a rural village in the Solalá region of Guatemala, both her parents work in Guatemala City. Her mother, Juana Felicia, does housework, and her father, Diego, works in the Security Service. He earns less than $200 per month, which is just enough to support the family.

Thanks to your donation, Prashant, Shirly is able to take computer literacy classes at the Roots and Wings education center that is two minutes from her house. When she grows up, she wants to be an English teacher so that she can be a guide for foreign tourists.

Thanks for giving Shirly the opportunity to learn valuable computer skills!
