Riverside Tree
Q&As
Alex Pasapera & Ana Lucia Correa Mendoza
Q: What are you currently
studying at university?
A: I am studying electronic
engineering.
Q: Why did you choose
this major?
A: To be honest with you,
I first chose this major
because it was the best
choice at the university and
it currently pays the most. But the more I study this
topic, the more projects God has been putting in my
heart.
Q: What do you mean by God has been putting
projects in your heart?
A: Well, with the money I raise, I want to help
construct new churches and reach out to the kids in
my neighborhood who have fallen into the world and
do drugs. Through all the help and support I have
received through the program, I want to go out and
support others and share God’s love to them with
the money I make.

Q: How has Riverside Tree helped you?
A: I mean it paid for all of my university tuition,
which took the burden off of my mom and off of
me. We were struggling to meet our basic needs, and
I had no hope of going to college.
If I did not get accepted into the program, I was
thinking about going to the military because there
was no way my mom could support all of us. But
truly, this program has changed our lives.
Q: What do you want to do now to help those
around you?
A: Riverside Tree is helping a certain number of
youths every year… and this is actually creating a
chain reaction. We, who are being helped now, want
to go out and help those around us, just as we have
received.
I personally want to create a foundation that helps
children and young adults who fall back because of
the lack of love and care they receive.
That’s what Riverside Tree has done for a lot of
people, and I want to go and share this love and care
to others who desperately need them now.
