💬 “The project I applied to GCL with was SAPHI, my social enterprise that revalues Indigenous and native languages such as Quechua, Aymara, Yine, Matsigenka, and more through courses, translations, voiceovers, consulting, and cultural products aimed at individuals, companies, and government entities. GCL helped me refine my pitch, strengthen my leadership, and connect with an incredible network of mentors and changemakers across the region.”
