Yesly wants to be a basketball coach!

Dear Shannon, Steve, and Rajeev, Jill, Sarina, & Corin,

Yesly was born on March 31, 2001 and she is an 11 year old 5th grader.  She attends Pasác elementary school in Pasác, Guatemala. Her father, Antonio, works at an urban school in Pasín, where he earns about $200 US every month. Her mother, Leticia, takes care of the home and the children, so she has no monthly income.

The family struggles to cover basic costs, and also pay for their three daughters to attend school. Yesly and her younger sister attend elementary schools, while their older sister goes to a private high school in Suchitepéquez.

Thanks to your generous donation, Yesly will receive an entire year of after-school tutoring which will help her to stay in school and excel in her studies.  Her favorite book is Blanca Nieves, and she dreams of being a basketball coach when she grows up.  She thinks sports are healthy for young people, since practicing helps them develop skills on and off the court.  Thanks again for giving such a great opportunity to Yesly, she really appreciates it!
