Jerardo Ready to Learn!

Jerardo Boromeo Guarchaj Ajpop
Dear Laurent, Sophia and Larry, and UBS,

Jerardo is eight years old and currently lives in Solola with his mother. He goes to the local primary school and is currently in the second grade. In the future, Jerardo has high hopes of becoming a dentist because he thinks that oral health is an important part of a person’s well-being. His mother works as a seamstress in her former husband’s tailoring shop, and makes about $40 a month. Jerardo is an only child and takes classes at Roots and Wings, which is just two minutes from home.

Thanks to your combined generosity, Jerardo is enrolled for a full year of computer literacy classes! These classes will give him the knowledge and tools he needs to advance with his vocational and personal goals. Thank you so much for your kindness!
