JustHope

There's still time to join us for a time of reimagining, creative discerning, and exploring where JustHope can go in 2023 and beyond: this Saturday, March 18, 10am–3pm. Some of us will gather in Tulsa (2900 S. Harvard Ave.), but you can join by Zoom, too. RSVP at JustHope.org/imagine

Urania, a student in JustHope’s University Scholarship program, has completed her coursework in Education and is on the cusp of receiving her degree. She is writing her thesis, and after she defends it, her university work will be complete.

She spends her community service hours at the Salomón Ibarra School in Chacraseca’s Boca de Cántaro sector, assisting the teacher with instruction, classroom arrangements, cleaning, and whatever else needs to be done. She gets valuable experience in her field while making an impact on her community.

In addition to pursuing her education career, Urania recently completed a course in the basics of first aid nursing. Though her dream is to teach, having some basic nursing skills increases her value to future employers, and it allows her to provide some basic care to her family. For instance, her grandmother receives daily injections for osteoporosis. Now, rather than paying a nurse to give the injections, Urania can do it herself, saving the family funds during tight economic times.
