?? 20 Years of Impact & Empowerment! ?? I was thrilled to attend the 20th Anniversary of the Scarlett Family Foundation—celebrating 20 years of transforming lives! With support for 800+ students, they've opened doors to higher education that many could only dream of. ?? Education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty and unlocking a brighter future, and thanks to the caring and philanthropic mission of Scarlett Family Foundation and amazing partners like Conexión Américas, real change is happening! ??
