Team Tobati Scholarship Fund - Belen Rodriguez and Roque Otazo
Special thanks to Paraguayan filmmaker Rodrigo Alvrenga and Peace Corp volunteer Liz Wolfe who worked extensively with Roque, Belen, and their families to create the following video.
Belen and Roque both grew up in Tobati, Paraguay and graduated from Team Tobati's Macchi School. Despite significant economic and environmental challenges both have excelled in and out of the classroom and have defied incredible odds and have been accepted to U.S. universities receiving substantial scholarships. Studying in the U.S.A. has been their ultimate dream since they were young children. Team Tobati is raising money to cover the small part of their tuition not covered by the university as well as their transportation costs. They are so close to reaching their dream. We are asking for a little help for this final step.
