📋 Tender Overview
The young aspiring firefighter of the General Corps of Volunteer Firefighters of Peru combines study, vocation and service to become an example of youth leadership.From the district of Villa Maria del Triunfo, a story of young leadership, a vocation for service and deep love for Peru emerges. It is the story of Yamila Rivas, a scholarship recipient of Scholarship 18 of the National Scholarship and Educational Credit Program (Pronabec) and applicant in Company 106 of the General Corps of Volunteer Firefighters of Peru (CGBVP). A young student who grew up amid challenges, but who turned each of them into a drive to become an example for her community.
I decided to be part of the General Corps of Volunteer Firefighters of Peru because I always had a genuine call to serve. It is a total dedication, a commitment to life and sacrifice, said Yamila who, as an applicant, actively participates in physical training, technical training and support work during guard duty. We carry out internal activities, work as a team and strengthen our attitude and commitment to respond better to emergencies, he says.
His effort and talent opened the doors to the Colegio de Alto Rendimiento (COAR) Lima Metropolitana, where he finished high school and discovered the possibility of dreaming big. Today, thanks to Beca 18, she studies International Relations at the University of Applied Sciences (UPC), a career she chose motivated to propose global solutions. She hopes, one day, to enter the Peruvian Diplomatic Academy to represent Peru as a diplomat.
Yamila met Beca 18 during a talk at COAR, an experience that, according to her, marked her destiny. I remember being shocked to know that it was possible to obtain this opportunity by meeting the requirements. Pronabec helps me cover my degree, my study materials, food and support, which is essential for a low-income person, he narrated with emotion.
The benefit that the scholarship offers for firefighters or children of firefighters also seems valuable. This benefit recognizes the sacrifice, time and effort of the personnel of all companies and encourages more young people to be able to serve without stopping studying, added Yamila who took the opportunity to invite other young firefighters to apply and thus transform their lives through education.
Today her greatest motivation is to demonstrate that the young people of her district can become positive role models and show that in Villa Maria del Triunfo there are young people like her who want to serve their community with their hearts. As part of the celebrations for Perus Volunteer Firefighters Day, he dedicates a message to all firefighters in the country.
To the entire family of the General Corps of Volunteer Firefighters of Peru, happy day. Thank you for your effort, discipline and selfless dedication to serve Peru. I feel very grateful to have been received in my company and to be able to serve with honor, he concluded.
