Our Graduates
Oct, 2022
We are celebrating the graduation of our dear: Gabriel, who has completed his Bachelor. This stage concludes the Diversified training, giving stage to professional life and University education. We thank our Good God because he has allowed us to see the growth and development of one of our children.
We want to make you part of the joy, for the graduation of Guadalupe, Gloria and Reyna, who after years of effort and dedication graduated in Art in Ceramics at the People's Friendship University of Russia
(www.rudn.ru).
Our joy has swept even greater, since Guadalupe and Gloria recently returned to Guatemala, ready to join the labor market, bringing their great professionalism and high quality to their native society.
Reyna will continue to study a master's degree in Russia increasing her knowledge, for which we bless the creator Who has given her wisdom, we also pray that she can culminate it with great successes.
We congratulate Isabel Guate on her recent graduation from high school with an A average!
Her goal is to work in the veterinary field so she has begun University studies in Life and Natural Sciences. Some of her Ohio family came down to celebrate. She is volunteering at a local, excellent veterinary hospital.
With her proud Ohio sister and papa.
Congratulations!

Congratulations to Reina Marroquin, our second college graduate!
This year, 2015, has entered as one of ht happiest in my life history, for reaching one of my main goals and dreams."MY GRADUATION". This would have not been possible with out the opportunity that the Russian University of the Peoples Friendship in Moscow, Russia has given me: the Foundation, Friends of the Hogar Rafael Ayau and without any doubt the NUNS of the Hogar, who not only have supported me economically but also emotionally and spiritually.
It is with great joy that I thank all that have allowed this dream to happen. THANK YOU University, Hogar Rafael Ayau, Mother Ines, Mother Maria, Mother Ivonne, Jorge Sommerkamp, all the staff and my little brothers and sisters.
I have no words to thank the great joy you all have given me, all I can say is: THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
