President of a fundraising club Amigos de Guanin Fox Valley
My name is Paige Gibson and I went on a Spanish immersion trip when I was 16 years old to the Dominican Republic in the summer of 2016. I had no idea how my visits to La Piedra would inspire me. Now I'm the president of a fundraising club called Amigos de Guanin Fox Valley. I'm grateful for the opportunity Guanin and Severino has given me to begin my life as a humanitarian worker.

HI! My name is Aleicha. I'm currently a stay at home mom but I am looking to expand my education into office administration and accounting in the fall. I have 2 little boys that keep me busy and laughing. I enjoy nature. Going on the side by side bumbling through the woods, exploring beaches and sitting around a warm bonfire with my family are just a few things I love to do.

Seve and I became acquainted, back in 2007 or 08, looking at doing some foreign exchange students in the DR and Peru, with IMUAS and have become as brothers, over the ensuing years.
I incorporated Centro Guanin, in 2010 and handed the reins over to Antonio, in 2012.
As a businessman, my first order is to create a viral awareness of Guanin and the work we do, from which will follow active and passive donations from various income streams.
It’s good to be back!
I look forward to working with you in making our organisation stronger and able to bring health and education to more of those in need of same.
Corbinian Wanner, USA Guanin- Treasurer
My name is Corbinian Wanner and I am currently a senior undergraduate student at the University of Connecticut studying Biology and Spanish within the Honors Program. In the future, I plan on eventually going to medical school to obtain and MD/MPH degree after taking a gap year to complete a masters in Structural Biology, Biochemistry, and Biophysics. I got involved with Fundacion Guanin my freshman year, three years ago, as part of the UConn Bridge to Guanin medical service trip. I became a program leader after that first trip in January of 2015 and have been involved in the team that plans, organizes, and runs the UConn Bridge to Guanin organization in terms of trips, fundraisers, advertising, etc. I have had the pleasure of visiting the beautiful community of La Piedra now four times and am thrilled to see how much progress has been made in the years that I have known Guanin. I am extremely excited to work with all of you in the near future and look forward to helping this organization as much as I can.
Ishmael Stinson, USA Guanin- Secretary
I am a lifelong Washingtonian currently live in Seattle, WA and work as a Customer Analyst for Affirma Consulting in partnership with Microsoft. I specilize in social media and community engagement. I was first introduced to Guanin through my uncle and former Vice President Antonio Stinson SR. Upon visiting late 2017 I was swept away by the community and love shown by everyone involved.
​
I then decided to reach out to become more involved and currently I am using my Bachelor's Degree in Communication from the University of Central Washington to further Guanin's presence in the United States. I am honored to hold this position and looking forward to continue my families legacy of selflessness and community empowerment.
Shalen Perehinec, USA Guanin- Public Relations & Media Specialist
I am a 2016 graduate of Juniata College, located in central Pennsylvania. I studied Health Communication & Psychology with a minor in Spanish. During my sophomore year of college, I decided to travel to La Piedra on Juniata's Cultural Learning Tour. I thought this would be an opportunity to improve my Spanish. Little did I know, I would be meeting my second family. Since that trip, I traveled back two more times with the school and twice on my own. Although I'm thousands of miles away, I feel at home there.
​
Currently, I am the Communications & Events Coordinator at Centre Foundation in State College (home of Penn State), where I develop marketing materials and plan events.
