Ep. 86: The Courage to Begin - Nikauris Vaquez Humer

Nikauris Vaquez Humer | Los Pequeños del Futuro

In this moving Purpose Lab interview, Laura Rose, co-founder of the Holomovement and Purpose Earth, sits down with Nikauris Vaquez Humer — a Montessori-trained teacher who turned a heartbreaking realization into a life-changing mission.

From a simple wooden stand outside her home, Nikauris built Los Pequeños del Futuro, a preschool and kindergarten in Villa Paraíso, Sosúa, Dominican Republic. Serving children ages 1–6, her school provides safe learning, early literacy, emotional development, and two nutritious meals a day — all born from her unwavering belief that everything is possible when you follow your calling.

This is the story of a young woman who refused to give up, even when everyone around her said her dream was impossible. Her courage is now rippling across her community… and the world.
