For anyone who doesn't know, getting paid well and getting good jobs depends so much on what you studied and what type of degree you got which means raw talent doesn't carry much, if any weight. You can be the most amazing teacher there is, but if you don't have your MA in education, you will not be paid the same as other mediocre teachers. This is the case with Marcelo, the man Kyle and her husband are putting through school. He is a very talented surveyor (I think this is the correct translation of trasador) and loves his job, but unless he gets his degree from an institute, he can be the best there is and still get paid nothing (and I mean nothing).
The point is that Kyle and her husband have offered the incredible: to cover all of his education expenses. This is amazing. These are two enormously generous people who are doing a wonderful thing for their friend. Any readers can help out by buying Kyle's pictures from her photography website because 100% of the money she makes selling her prints goes to Marcelo's education. Check out her link here and see how good she is. The US embassy just bought several prints from her so she's got to be damn good!
Go read about it and then if you have a blog, put a link in it. If not, put it up on facebook or myspace or something
Good luck, Marcelo!
