Maribel Cañar wants to be a chemical engineer. Right now, she is the only woman in her class at the Universidad Politécnica Nacional. She got into this program by doing very well on the national entrance exam, but she has found it difficult going, because of limitations in her high school background. Mike worked with Maribel a number of times this summer on mathematics, and he came away convinced that she has the kinds of abilities and qualities of character that are needed to succeed at the university level. We are helping her with basic costs and finding her the tutoring that she needs.
