Last week I covered another year with Girls Inc of Greater Lowell for their Today’s Woman Award. Maria Cunha was this years recipient and a well deserved one too. I have know Maria for over 25 years and although she is shy in front of the camera and more of a behind the scenes personality she glowed that night to a sold out crowd of friends and family. Maria was born in the Azores and came to Lowell with her family in 1967. Maria quickly learned English and excelled in the Lowell Public Schools. She received a scholarship to Regis College being the first in her family to attend and graduate college. For over 30 years, she has supported immigrants and refugees in Lowell through her work at the International Institute, Congressman Meehan’s district office, and as an administrator at Middlesex Community College.
