Andres Flores Paxi
Major: Agronomy
Andres, from Inquisivi Province in the Department of La Paz, says the mission of UAC-CP speaks to him on a very personal level. “I like the idea of service. I was raised in my family to be of service to other people; to seek justice and to treat all people equally.” |

Gladys Teresa Apaza Rodríguez

Leidy Zuazo Quisbert
Major: Primary Education
“I come from a family of very limited economic means, and with four girls and a three year old boy to provide for, my parents cannot afford to send all of my sisters and me to school. Because of his heart condition, my father cannot do much. My mother takes care of the household, and together, my parents cultivate the land in our village. Unfortunately, I am also afflicted with the same heart condition as my father, but I am not one to surrender: I wish to do something in this life. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to realize my dreams.” |

Netzi Viviana Apuri Clavijo
Major: Primary Education
“I wish to thank you for your support. My name is Netzi Viviana Apuri Clavijo, from the village of Candelaria, municipality of Guanay, in the province of Larecaja. The help you have offered is very important to all of us. It is very difficult in the rural areas for young men and women to continue their studies. There is often very little guidance for young people in the countryside and very limited economic resources.” |
