The ceremony took place in the auditorium of the Central Bank in Santa Marta, on January 16, 2010.

This year, we welcomed Andrea S. Vargas to study nursing, Liliana Santafé to become a teacher of Spanish, Angel Robles who is a healer in his Wayúu community and will study nursing, Maria C. Riascos will study industrial engineering, Julia Perez Salas will study foreign languages, Yeimily Rosario Perez will study nursing, and Amparo Ortega will study psychology.  The program now has twenty students and fifteen of them are girls.

At the end of last year, four students failed to maintain their academic standards and will not continue in the program. They are Alvaro Bermudez Quiroz, Alfredo Castro, Camilo Eguiz and Yeiner Guerrero*. Yesica Rodríguez Atencio withdrew from the program. Nolivis Paola Bermudez found a job and decided to decline our support.  She said someone else needed our help.  Victor Fernandez graduated as a Mining Technician from the Francisco de Paula Santander University in Cucuta, and Yulbis Galeano graduated in music from the Adventist University in Medellin.  She accepted a position to teach music in Cartagena.

At the ceremony, the children of Paso a Paso received their school kits.  Some of them performed with MFI students.

Fundehumac celebrated 10 years of working with MFI students and a video of its work was shown. 

It is expected that three students will graduate in 2010.

* Important.  Yeiner Guerrero was studying engineering but he suspended his studies because he did not have money to buy the tools and materials required in his curriculum. The cost of the working tools was five times the value of the scholarship. For that reason he failed drawing and lost the school help. During the first semester, his academic performance got him a reduction in his tuition cost for the second semester.  We gave him our support but it was not sufficient.   He is now considering another possibility and may return for our help.  He still participates in the social program guided by Fundehumac.
