FOREVER PART OF THE AMIGOS FAMILY
IN MEMORY OF ALBA MENDOZA
Alba served as our first Communications and Operations Manager from October 2020 to July 2021. Originally from Guatemala City, Alba brought a wealth of talent and experience in communications, improving our online presence and communications strategy, and delivering the organization’s first-ever Annual Impact Report. Her bright smile and friendly personality lit up the offices each day and made her a beloved part of the Amigos family.
On May 29th, 2021, a gas explosion at her home in Santa Cruz caused burns to over 90% of her body. Sadly, after a month of fighting for her life, Alba passed away on July 1st, 2021 at only 25 years old. Her loss was felt by every member of the Amigos family. In honor of our dear colleague and friend, Amigos has planted a memorial garden in her name on the second floor of our offices.
