Per my private e-mail, I think you misunderstood. I was suggesting that you
find a *student* to propose the project. Given that we, as a project, are
responsible for our mentors and the outcome of SoC projects, we really can't
accept mentors who are not familiar to us.

For that matter, mentors don't get to choose the projects. The students do.
We just choose what we want to accept.

If the student proposing the project speaks Spanish, that should not be a
problem.
