Mery is a woman that isn't a stranger to ministry. She worked for quite a few years for a special education school, Genesis. She currently works for Anija, a christian school in Jarabacoa. She writes in her application "I feel that I have a calling to contribute to society not only humbly, but with empathy before God to those I work with. I believe firmly that those values can be exemplified in the lives of youth. I would like to show those values, through Christ, to each child in their weekly Bible studies with the purpose of contributing to the growth of their faith." Welcome Mery!
