“For me, these past three years as a Fundación Monge scholar have been the best in my life. So many experiences, opportunities and workshops shared with others… You have taught me that economic status doesn’t matter because there’s always a way out and that even if the dream seems too big, it can be achieved through perseverance and hard work”.

“Both CARSI and the Monge Foundation have meant a great deal in my life; not only because of how much the economic support has changed my family but also because the program has taught me to go out into the world as a prepared person, with a clearer vision of what I am and what I want to become”.

“I am extremely grateful to the people who so lovingly took time and shared with us such wonderful experiences…You have built our dreams and given us so much support because you have believed in us and connected us to other people with inspirational stories. Thank you, Monge Foundation!”

“Just like all of you, I have dreams, goals and objectives…And thank God and the SOY CAMBIO team, many of my aspirations are coming true. Being part of this program has changed a big part of my life, has allowed me to reconsider my abilities and capabilities, but above all, it has made me want to be a better person and let go of my fears”.

“The Monge Foundation has been a great opportunity for me. Thanks to them I have not only benefitted from financial support, I have also found a second family, a support system and friends always willing to listen to me, help me and instruct me…”SOY CAMBIO” allowed me to make my dreams come true, be successful and obtain the tools to advance in life. Today I am working for this great company, something for which I am deeply proud and grateful.
