Felicidades, Fico

Federico Carrizales has been in Carmen Pampa for much of his life. After being orphaned, he and his sisters were taken in by Sister Damon to finish high school in Carmen Pampa. Federico's sister Cecilia, and later his other sister Claudia, came to the College and graduated; with a final push from Sister Chris, Federico's graduation marks the fulfiling of a promise made to Sister Damon: graduate and contribute.

And contribue he does: Federico runs the College's hog farm. Doctor Federico is leading the transition from production of hogs for the meat processing plant to production of piglets and sows for farmer groups that will produce hogs for the plant.

Federico graduated mid-December. We expect his wife Dani (center) to graduate in February.
