Dr. Sabillon has proven highly effective in the use of donated funds. Thanks to having completed three undergraduate degrees in record speed at the National University of Honduras, he obtained a scholarship from the government of Switzerland to do a Masters degree at the University of Geneva. The scholarship had a length of two and a half years because rarely did students complete the program in two years. It was no easy feat and 60% of all students at the university never finished their Masters degree.
Carlos Sabillon however, did not require that much time. He was in such a rush to acquire knowledge, that in just two years he completed the Masters degree and the Doctors degree. He not only did both degrees in the amount of time in which very few students managed to complete a Masters, but he also did them while doing double the amount of courses required. That was highly unusual because practically all students would only do the required courses and more than half of all people receiving a scholarship would never complete the degree they were intended on achieving.
Worst still was that 90% of students attempting to attain a doctorate would never finish it. Even more challenging was the fact that Latin Americans had a lower track record of completing their degrees than Europeans, North Americans and East Asians.
The numbers were not in his favor, but Carlos Sabillon was determined not to be one more negative statistic, so he set forth to break the record in speedy completion of both degrees. He achieved it. His thesis director, Professor Gilbert Etienne, as well as other professors was so impressed with his working discipline, that they would joke that he was some sort of Terminator machine that would never rest.
Carlos Sabillon studied at the reputed Graduate Institute of International Studies, which is part of the University of Geneva, but has a higher academic ranking. Since 1927, when it was founded until Carlos Sabillon obtained his doctorate in 1990, nobody had done a Masters and a Doctorate at such a fast speed.
The Swiss government was also baffled with the working discipline of the bespectacled Honduran and pleased with the very efficient use of funds that were allocated to him because the majority of students who received a scholarship would fail to complete their degree.
Our NGO´s philosophy is: Time and resources must be rationally maximized at all times.
