The importance of education

Our volunteer in Quito, Juan, was forced to leave school when he was just 8 years old in order to work.

Since becoming involved with Mashi, we have supported him to continue with his education and he has just graduated from primary education.  He will now continue to study as this is the key to a better life for him and his family.  He is the sole carer to his two daughters and he wants to be able to give them a better quality of life but also to show them the importance of education.

We are very proud of his commitment and enthusiasm to education and we will continue to support him to access further courses.
