A Great Story to Start the New Year

Isa graduated from El Nido in 2018. Since then, Isa has continued to compose her new, hopeful story with her business, Isa's Tamales. Recently, Isa participated in "CHOPPED" a program of the City Heights Community Development Corporation. This program helped equip Isa with business skills to take Isa's Tamales to the next level.

Isa has stayed in contact with El Nido since her graduation, and we are thrilled to celebrate her as one of the many El Nido graduates who have created a new beginning for themselves and their families.
