Graduation Speech Given by Maria Lopez

“I’m here to thank the one that guided my steps to this beautiful program of AVANCE that educates & opens one’s eyes to knowledge.. (AVANCE) has taught me to use the tools that were always within reach, but that I didn’t have the knowledge to see or how to use them… The educational and toy making activities have made my children and husband encourage me with admiration as they see that our money goes further and is a benefit to all. Thank God and all of whom help create this great program. No one can keep me from thanking, admiring, and respecting you all always.” – Maria Lopez, in her graduation speech (June 2011)
