hear Olive’s harrowing story of how hopelessness and trauma turned to hope and healing through God’s grace. She’s now sharing the love she received as a public health advocate for suicide prevention.

Educating the Next Generation

Since winning the CCSI, Janeth has continued developing and promoting Minkedu and other academic programs across South America.

She shares about this work: “We have started working with municipalities in Bolivia and have also had opportunities to create programs in Chile. Our goal is to get Minkedu implemented in schools. We want to focus on social and emotional learning. A lot of educational systems don’t teach emotional or social learning, and it’s very important.”

“Every day I pray that Minkedu continues to grow and continues to impact students, teachers and parents,” Janeth shares eagerly.

A Future Full of Hope

Looking back, it’s truly inspiring to see how far Janeth has come and how many lives she has impacted through her passion for education. “I think about my life as a child, and I thank God because I met many people who pray for me and believe in me,” she says.

We can’t wait to see the incredible ways God will work through Janeth as she continues innovating and creating opportunities for countless students around the world.
