Location: Guayaquil, Ecuador

Gender: Male

Birthday: January 5, 2015

School:  St. Rose of Lima

Hobbies: Playing ball

Parents' Names and Occupations: Jessica (housewife)

Siblings: Luis (4), Leonardo (17), and Juan (11)

Reason for Scholarship:   The father abandoned the family and does not send any money to help out. They had a house made of bamboo, but recently it has collapsed, and so they are staying in a room that belongs to the grandmother. They have many medical issues that they are not able to treat, as they hardly have enough money for the day to day necessities. Jessica has been trying to find work wherever she can, but is very difficult. One of their children is already on scholarship, and they are hoping to be approved for another so that they can continue sending the children to St. Rose of Lima.

What Your Sponsorship Provides
When you sponsor a child in Ecuador, your donation supports the child's education in an excellent school.  These children come from very impoverished areas, and the local schools are greatly lacking.  Your donation will not only allow a child to receive a very good education, but will also allow him or her to experience the love of God in a faith-filled community.  Additional donations can be made here to help support children without sponsors as well as support additional needs of the children, such as gifts, uniforms and school supplies.

What You'll Receive
As a sponsor, you will receive a newsletter with general updates from our communities in India and Ecuador as well as a letter from your adopted child 3 times per year:  Easter, early fall and Christmas.  We also encourage you to send letters or cards to your adopted child by creating and logging into your account on our website.
