Testimonials
Universidad Autónoma de Honduras/Altos del Estiquirín
My name is Manuel de Jesús Colindres Ortíz, and I am 17 years old. My journey has not been easy, but today I feel proud of what I have accomplished.
I come from a reality where pursuing an education has required effort and sacrifice. Many times, I had to leave my family to continue my studies outside my community, facing doubts and moments of exhaustion, but never giving up on my dreams.
Completing my high school education was a major challenge that required discipline and perseverance. Today, I celebrate this achievement because it represents much more than a diploma—it is proof that with perseverance, you can overcome challenges and move forward.
This achievement motivates me to keep moving forward. My goal is to complete my university education, continue preparing myself, and open the door to new opportunities for my future.
I did not walk this path alone. I am grateful to the staff at Fundación Agrolíbano and Escuela El Sembrador for guiding me, supporting me, and believing in me.
To the young people in our communities, I say: don’t give up on your education. Even when the journey is difficult, education transforms lives.
