This which is now the 7th graduation, the 1st one celebrated with the graduating classes of 2004 – 2005, started at 4pm, an emotive act in which happy students paraded into the auditorium, receiving their awaited diplomas, accompanied by Lian Fanjul de Azqueta, Founder and President of Fundación MIR, her husband Norberto Azqueta and their daughter, Lyanne Azqueta, Executive Director of this institucion, as well as by numerous friends and relatives.
This special ocassion not only celebrated an important step in these young boys and girls’ lives, it also celebrated the Fundación MIR’s and its many supporters’ dedication, efforts and commitment to provide education to these 103 young Dominicans, among them, Alba Raquel Jose Leonardo and Julio Cesar Frías Romero, as Valedictorians, who like those in previous graduation ceremonies, are today contributing to the Dominican Republic’s development.
