Zuly Yajaira Rodriguez Hernandez

September student of the month

Zuly is one of my favorite students in the scholarship program, because she has such a bright future on the horizon. She faithfully attends Bible school classes and is a willing participant. Last November she graduated from 6th grade with a 96% GPA. This year, she also doing very well with her transition into high school. She is a very sweet and respectful 13-year-old. She lives with her father Carlos, who is only able to find temporary, seasonal construction work. He often struggles to put food on the table. Her mother, Evangelina, takes care of her 3-year-old daughter, Carla. Zuly’s 10-year-old brother, Carlos (Jr.), also attends school.

The following is a letter from Zuly:

Trujillo, Colon, Honduras

I take pen and paper to let you know that I am grateful to you for giving me the opportunity of this scholarship. I thank God that there is this ministry, the beca program. I am a faithful Christian. I like to study the Bible and I hope that the Lord blesses you so that the other young people could have resources provided to them as well. Thank you for sponsoring me. My parents have very scarce resources. I hope to meet you.

I am entering my first year of middle school and I want to get my high school degree. I am very grateful to God and to you for your help.

My GPA is 96%.

Sincerely,

Zuly Yajaira Rodriguez Hernandez
