Through the help of our talented volunteer Victor, we introduce you a few of our university scholars in this short Youtube video. Currently, Roots and Wings International sponsors 25 university students in the village of Pasac, a rural part of Guatemala. Our scholars come from families that earn $2 or less per day, and they are the first in their family to study beyond elementary school.
