For their family and community, this moment marks not only their transition into youth but also the result of years of effort, love, and perseverance after losing their mother. Her departure left an immense void, but it also marked the beginning of a story traversed by strength and family love. From that moment, their grandfather became their guide and protector, bravely taking on the responsibility of raising them. They have grown with values, dreams, and clear goals, demonstrating that circumstances do not define destiny when there is will and family support. On June 26, they will celebrate their 15th birthday, a stage that symbolizes new beginnings, illusions, and opportunities. Almost 15 years ago, when they were just beginning to take their first steps in life, the twin sisters Iris and Regina faced a harsh reality: the loss of their mother in a tragic accident while working in the rice harvest. With sacrifice, dedication, and unwavering affection, it has been the engine that has driven them to move forward, providing them with the necessary support at every stage of their lives within their environment in Panama. Although they never knew their mother, her memory has remained alive through the words of their grandmother, who has always described her as a fighter, dedicated, and deeply loving woman. Her greatest desire was to see her daughters grow up, a story marked by family tragedy that changed their lives forever. Today, Iris and Regina represent much more than a difficult story. They are an example of personal overcoming.
