Older days!

I was browsing through the internet today, looking for some information about  the San Pedro Foundation. I did find some and it dates way back to the year 1997! Three brilliant students were awarded scholarships! They were Mariana Ancona, Mary Gonzalez and Karen Martinez . Mariana Ancona used the scholarship to continue her tertiary education. She studied at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) in the U.S., where she was to pursue her PHD in Science School. Ms. Ancona received one of the highest grade averages.

Karen Martinez graduated from Muffles Junior College in May of that same year majoring in Business Science. During her four semesters there, she made the Dean's honor list twice. She also received an award from the Hon. Ruben Campos for Youth Leadership and Community Service, and an award from the University of Quintanaroo, Mexico for her participation in a Master Plan Survey for the Orange Walk Town Board. Ms. Martinez used her scholarship to pursue a Bachelor's Degree in Business Science at the University College of Belize (now referred to as the University of Belize).
Mary Gonzalez was enrolled at St. John's Junior College pursuing a General Studies course and majoring in Biology.


These three brilliant students were the first few who had received assistance from the San Pedro Foundation. They, as well as many of our young students have and should enjoy the benefits of the scholarships that the San Pedro Foundation offers!
 

Our young people are the future, and as Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882 - 1945) states, "We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future." This is the aim of the San Pedro Foundation—to assist our youth and provide them with a monetary foundation for higher education.
