Jimena Ramos Morales – In-Country Director
Jimena is our In-Country Director in Bolivia. Jimena was born in Cochabamba Bolivia and knows the community very well. The most valuable and important thing in her life is her family. They have had to face various adversities that occurred throughout their lives, and they have gotten through these tough times by sticking together. Through working in her profession as a nurse, she has witnessed children suffering everyday due to all the inequalities that exist in Bolivian society. She says the only thing she can do is what she has always learned: helping others to the best of her capabilities. That is why she came on board with TIA, because the main objective of TIA’s work is to empower children and help them improve from their own environment, so we can improve the quality of life not only for the children but for society. Since February 2011, Jimena has been working (incredibly hard) as TIA’s main representative and in-country liaison, monitoring and developing our projects, administering funds, and researching new project opportunities. So far we have been blown away by her level of commitment and initiative – we’ve very lucky to have her and look forward to developing TIA further in Bolivia with Jimena as our driving force!
