During the month of August, Fundación Tropicalia, with the support of Fundación Orange, hosted the last session of the “I’m a Girl, I Matter” summer camp for the girls of La Gina ages 10-15. As mentioned last month, the camp brings nutrition, self-esteem, sex education, career development and personal growth workshops to 100 girls in a fun, safe and supportive environment. During this last session Katia Núñez, Human Resources Manager for the Cisneros Group in the Dominican Republic, shared her own personal story of how she overcame life’s hurdles to get where she is today. Without a doubt the girls who attended were not only inspired, but also created unforgettable memories.
