I know it'll be difficult but that money can be put to much better use as a donation to Davis Jose Rojas Corea, who will use it to finance a degree in tourism.

As I was reading, I was nodding my head, sighing with happiness, and my eyes even welled up a little bit as I heard your story and remembered all the other people I've met who've shared their own similar experiences with me. Thank you for sharing and for digging a bit deeper into your own intentions and for making us all say "thank you" to our own families and support systems who by their actions decades ago have helped us be where we are today. The power of education truly ripples through time, and we hardly can know what it's energy and momentum will create. Powerful post Nayna.

Its always great to keep in touch with one's humble background and identify the transformative forces. Your story may motivate many others and make them believe that education can transform their lives. Millions of people live in abject poverty across the globe. They fight for everything but education, the lonely candle of hope. Kudos! Keep it up!! Shrikant Dear Nayna

Many of the Peruvian students I met in Lima deal with the same thing--- an extra "título" fee. It's great that you are able to explain this to other Vittana lenders so they get an idea of how much of an impact one loan can have! Great post Jordan!!
