PARAGUAY’S First INDIGENOUS Woman gets MA in Canada & returns home!

Описание: Mirta Pérez — the first Indigenous woman from Paraguay to earn a Master’s degree in an English-speaking country — has returned to her home in the South American Chaco.

In this powerful story, she reveals how she broke the unspoken rules of her community to pursue an education abroad. Now, she’s guiding her students to overcome fear and imagine a world beyond their village.

Join Mirta as she takes us through her classrooms, shares the role Mennonites play in the Chaco, and introduces the diverse Indigenous groups and languages of the region. Her journey shows how education can turn one woman into a bridge between two worlds.
