“When a young girl believes in herself, the whole world opens up.”
– Profe Ricardo.
As part of our 2024 Holiday Fundraising Campaign, we’re sharing Ricardo’s story of passion and dedication to empowering young people, especially young girls.
In a community where girls rarely encounter kind, supportive male figures, Ricardo stands out as a remarkable role model. His students admire him, learn from him, and grow under his guidance.
“My name is Ricardo Rangel, and I am a classroom teacher at Project Somos. I trained in project leadership, and I have always been passionate about technology and sports. I teach sports, technology, and leadership classes with a special focus on empowering girls. Through sports, I help them develop discipline, teamwork, and self-confidence. In technology, I teach them essential skills for today’s world, giving them tools to see technology as a path to growth. And through leadership, I foster their ability to make decisions, work in teams, and become agents of change.
I choose to work at Project Somos because I firmly believe in its mission to build a future where girls become the leaders our society needs.”
Ricardo’s dedication inspires his students every day. He wants every girl to dream big, build confidence, and envision a future beyond traditional roles.
“My goal is to prepare these girls to be the future leaders of our society. I want them to believe in themselves and know they are capable of achieving so much more.”
