Loan #7: Angela "Milagros" Esquivel Sequeiros-- As of March 2011, Milagros has fully paid back her loan!

Milagros with Ben at Promesa, the school where she taught and he attended


Like many people in the Cusco area, Milagros and her family were devastated by the flooding that occurred there in February. Her father, an architect, lost all of his jobs and no longer had an income during that period. Milagros had been planning to attend University, due to start in March, but learned that her parents would not be able to help her financially, as they had planned, and so she could not go. We heard about this and offered her a loan. She was one of Ben's teachers at Promesa, where he and Tim attended school while we lived in Cusco. She was also the greeter at the school, so we had the chance to get to know her as we dropped off and picked up the boys each day from school. She is kind and hard-working and very grateful for this help.
