A loan helped pay for his Master's degree.


Orlando Jose's story

Orlando's friends and family describe him as a person who is very motivated to succeed and has the big goal to become one of the greatest professionals in his country. 24 years old, he is a dentist with more than two years experience working in the state hospital as an intern. He also works with his aunt in a clinic with other doctors in order to continue applying what he has learned. He has the support of his father, who transports freight, and his mother, who has a small grocery store.

Since he was a child, Orlando has been inspired by his aunt. He would always go to her office to help with whatever she needed, hand her the forceps, observe how to properly use each instrument, and gradually, dentistry became his passion and the university program he would complete.

Now, to continue his professional development, he is completing a Master's degree, and he is requesting a loan to cover the payment for the degree and thus be prepared to offer better service. He plans to pursue employment with the national health institute.
