| Biby is 16 years old and is the daughter of Teófila Córdova, a
humble and hardworking asparagus peeler of Danper that registered her daughter
with great enthusiasm, but thinking that something so wonderful could hardly
happen to her. For his part, Agustín Valderrama, also 16, at the moment of the
announcement (2008) was the Student Mayor of José Olaya High School in
Hauncaquito Alto, area where Danper carries out a well-known work of Social
Responsibility, circumstance for which he made contact with Mrs Rosario Bazán,
who with the aim of giving him an opportunity decided to incorporate him into
the selection process, given his particular integrity and desires of overcoming
in contrast to his difficult economic and familiar situation. This scholarship, stated the General Manager of Danper, is all part of the work of social responsibility that characterizes the company, and inside of it the policy of support and consideration that Danper has for its employees, whom it considers its main capital. “If we have come to where we are, is thanks to the work of our people, to their dedication, they are unassuming people but very combative, people with values, always identified with the aims that we set for ourselves, that is why, we are very satisfied to offer them this opportunity and we are sure that they will be able to value and take advantage of it”, stated the businesswoman. |
