The Montefalco School was Begoña’s child. She died at the age of 91, yet she never missed a single meeting. Every two weeks for years she attended the board of director’s meetings. She always came on time and was always interested. She always asked questions. She made us understand the transcendence of this school. I feel she wanted to transmit to us her desire that, when she couldn’t be with us any more, we would  carry on the mission of loving all the girls and the School the way she did. On my part at least, with her example, she succeeded.

This center has permitted me to grow up, not just in the area of my studies, but also on the human and spiritual plane of my life. I have learned how to have a deeper relationship with others. It has allowed me to discover my mission and strengthened my will to serve others. Tabora has changed me. I have learned a profound sense of love: love for people and loving the world passionately.

I want to contribute to the technological evolution of my country and make a positive impact not only for my country, but also the world. But also, I want to help abandoned children have a better life, like what I have seen at Tabora.

Guy Arthur Wanzire
21-year-old computer science student at Don Bosco University in Lubumbashi, participant at Tabora University Cultural Center
I am one of the beneficiaries of the Build Your Future training program. I founded BAKE Academy (Baptiste Kouassi Enterprise), an agro-pastoral company specialized in the farming and processing of African giant snails, a highly prized species. Participating in BYF allowed me to mature my project: I went from a simple idea to a concrete initiative that I am currently working on. The program taught me better organization, effective time management, and a positive evolution of my mindset to broaden the impact of my enterprise.
