As I said before, my path wasn’t easy. I was not born into a wealthy family, and from an early age I was forced to struggle.
However, I consider myself lucky. At a young age I was able to get a good scholarship, attend a good university, have a profession and with that save money to live abroad.
But I am quite sure that many other people cannot save money to make this dream come true.
I know so many hard-working people who want to live abroad, but unfortunately they didn’t have the same opportunity as me. That is why I always try to think about how I can help these people.
The desire to fulfil dreams
Just as I fulfilled my dream of living abroad at a young age, I have a deep desire to do the same for those who want to spend time in Ireland.
I am unstinting in my efforts to do so. And it was in view of this desire to help that I came up with the idea of a great business: exchange financing.
This startup was born with a very noble purpose that is the same one I have in life: helping thousands of students to achieve their dream of living abroad.
I confess that this is a dream I’ve been dating for a while, but it always ended up being put on hold because of circumstances.
But this year I finally decided to take the idea off the paper and put it into practice. I couldn’t wait any longer to start helping Brazilians who want to live here.
Financing student exchanges: the birth of an ideal
Financing exchanges is the birth of a true ideal. This is a way to help those people who cannot afford to live in Ireland to fulfil their dreams.
The idea is to finance the exchange at an attractive interest rate, and for this reason at this first moment we are still studying the directions of the business.
Some expenses will be considered, such as school fees, for example, and others we are looking at how we can include.
The goal is to include as many expenses as possible, and finance the amount in a period in which the instalments will fit in the student’s pocket.
The advantages of financing an exchange
For the student the financing is advantageous, since when he/she returns to Brazil he/she will have more possibilities of finding a better job.
After all, practically all leadership positions require a fluent level of English, which is very difficult to achieve when you only have English courses.
Immersion in another country provides a much wider range of learning opportunities. And you also acquire other soft skills such as security, independence, decision making, etc.
Therefore, I can only say that the birth of Exchange Financing is a dream that is coming true, and that will soon help many people to live abroad.
