MEET CECELIA!
Girlstown Guatemala
“I have four brothers and three sisters. My dad works in the fields, but what he earns, he doesn’t give to my mom, but he spends it on drinking. My dad said that women don’t study, that they can only serve to cook and give children. But I wanted to study, so I went to work in the fields to buy my notebooks.I decided to come here because I wanted to continue studying and my dad couldn’t give me that possibility anymore. I want to study to achieve something in the future. I hope to be a light to my family and my community. After graduating from the Villa I am going to get a job to help my family for a while, and then I want to study at the university. I want to help my family and my community by sharing my knowledge.”
