Dinora Saribel García de León

Saribel is currently studying Business Administration at the Rafael Landivar University in Guatemala.  She also serves NPH as the assistant director of the baby house, and as she describes “her babies”, it is easy to see how lucky they are to receive her care.

During this year in Seattle, she hopes to improve her English, learn about the culture of the Northwest and other areas of the United States, grow in her leadership abilities, and to learn about each of the people she will meet while here.  In thinking about her NPH family, she says “NPH means the opportunity to have the family I dreamt of for so long.  It means a brighter future for me and for my brothers and sisters”.

Today, meet Ricardo Klayen from NPH Mexico:

Ricardo talks about what he has learned during his years at NPH: responsibility, commitment, unconditional giving, and a strong work ethic.  All of these skills have served him well during his University studies in Monterrey, Mexico.  This past summer, Ricardo completed the final requirements for his Nursing Degree and graduated!  Part of his final year of studies included internships and social service.  He had the opportunity to work in the internal medicine department as well as the home care and psychiatry departments of two distinct hospitals in Monterrey.

During this year in Seattle, Ricardo notes “I hope to learn much about the culture, leadership, language, and people of the US.  Most of all, I wish to understand what kind of leader I am, what kind of leader I can be, and what I want to change or improve.  It is my intent to use these tools for the benefit of the people around me; in my work, in my community, and in my NPH family”.
