Location: Guayaquil, Ecuador

Gender: Male

Birthday: May 26, 2020

School: Annunciation School

Hobbies: Playing with a ball

Parents' Names and Occupations: Jorge and Maria (shrimp farm worker)

Siblings: Christopher (10)

Reason for Scholarship:  Jorge abandoned the family, so Maria is trying to support them all on her salary. After Jorge left, she moved them to Guayaquil so that she could work on the shrimp farm. She can earn up to $60 weekly. They do not have a house, so they rent, and their rent is $100 monthly. She pays a girl to look after the children when she needs to work, because sometimes they put her on the night shift. She is working very hard, but she is not able to afford tuition for her children.

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.
