Liliana Temeis de Oliva was born on November 22, 1992 to Alfredo Temeis and the late Maria Teresa de Oliva. Her father runs a corner stand to support the family, but does not have the resources to pay for schooling. Thanks to the BCF, Liliana was able to attend a reputable private school outside of the Batey. She is now in the 10th grade and is studying to become a gynecologist.

Ramon Eugenio Damian turned 18 years-old in February 2008. His parents, Pedro Rosario and Nuris Ramon, like all our students' parents are very supportive of his education.
