From Cuba to Mexico to the United States, the story of Frankys de la Osa (Class of 2002, Cuba) is one of relocation, learning, and constant reinvention. Frankys transformed his curiosity into practical tools to build, innovate, and begin again, first through a family citrus business and now through a new agricultural project in Florida. His journey reflects how education, memory, and adaptability can take root anywhere.
Patricia de Oliveira (Class of 2003, Brazil) has built a path where entrepreneurship and social impact go hand in hand. From her years as a student to the creation of three language schools in Brazil, her story reflects a clear conviction: businesses can become tools to transform lives.
Martinho Da Silva Tembo (Class of 2018, Zambia) works as a software engineer in Mexico as he continues to apply his background in agriculture through investments in Zambia. Beyond agriculture, the most important takeaway from Martinho’s EARTH experience was an inspiration to promote positive community development and give back to the people around him.
