Newsletter February 2022 Guadalupe Musalem Fund meeting with mentors.
On February 24, the Guadalupe Musalem Fund held the first meeting of mentors of 2022, in order to learn about the progress they have made with their scholarship grantees in terms of communication and the support they have provided for their empowerment. Martha Aparicio Rojas thanked them for their assistance and informed them that as of January she is the president of the Board of Directors of the FGM. She provided information on the fundraising campaign and invited them to join this effort as they do every year. She also invited the mentors of grantees who are about to graduate from high school to encourage them to continue their studies, since information on the FGM university scholarships will be available soon. At one point, one of the mentors, Gisela Blas, shared the following: “It is very exciting to see how my grantee has more confidence, it is interesting to see how they mature, how they grow, what the Fund does is wonderful, the way in which she expresses herself is different, her vocabulary is different. All the training they receive gives them tools to advance.” The following mentors participated on line: Daniela Esteva, Consuelo and Rosalba Bustamante, Ana Lina Martínez, Elsa Blancas, Rosa Elena Figueroa, Marlen Martínez, Olga Grijalva, Eva Velásquez, Anis Ballina, Gayne Rodríguez and María José Soruco, first time mentor, was welcomed.
