Edna Cano, a native of Benque, Belize, was 20 years old when she was awarded the GOJoven Fellowship. Teaching at a Catholic high school in Santa Elena, Cayo, Edna instructs Social Studies, Geography, Life Skills and Spanish to young students. Rather than let the conservative values of the school limit her capacity to teach her students about sexual and reproductive health (SRH), she has managed through creativity and strategic thinking to cover these topics. She has an Associates Degree in International Business and for her future hopes to be an even better teacher and possibly a principle of a school where she can set an example of good leadership, providing positive direction and meeting the needs of the students.
