CURRENT STUDENT
Emmanuel
Emmanuel is hard-working and independent.
He grew up on the northern coast of Peru and was
raised by a single mother. At sixteen he moved to Lima to try and create a better life for himself—a common trend for most Peruvian young adults. He attended university on a one-year technical scholarship because of his good high school grades, but after the first year he had no way to pay for the rest of his schooling and was forced to put his plans on hold.
In June 2021 he joined Construyendo Bases, jumping in feet first, and quickly got to work making a space for himself and helping around the home. He is currently halfway through his classes to complete his degree in Business Management with a focus in Human Resources.
He has started volunteering by teaching freshman orientation classes, and through a program started by one of his professors that works with the Peruvian government he is helping women start their own small businesses to be able to provide for their families. Upon graduating he wants to affect positive change in the workplace environment in Peru.
