Congratulations to Manuel Munguia, who I met in January 2009 as a student of English in El Sauce.
Back then, he was learning his first words of a new language.
A few days ago, he earned a spot in the Saturday school at the university in Léon to study marketing or economics. Friends helped him hone his math skills and he studied like mad to pass the test.
The Friends Project is providing Manuel with a $350 scholarship to cover some of his costs for the first year, including books and tuition. He will attend on Saturday so he can work during the week to support him and his family.
Manuel’s also one of our photographers, who recently began to document life in El Sauce — from his perspective.
