Christmas came early for the College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) when one of its counselors helped it win a $10,000 grant from a national cosmetics company.
Marcelina Fernandez, a CAMP outreach counselor and graduate student in counseling, won the grant from Maybelline New York after entering an Empowerment Through Education essay contest in People Magazine’s Spanish edition, People en Espanol.
“I was reading the magazine and saw a story about women who had done a lot for their communities,” she says. “I thought, ‘I’ve done a lot. I should nominate myself.’” “*
