Hobbies: Painting

Parents' Names and Occupations: Ana (housewife) and Hector (tricycle taxi driver)

Reason for Scholarship: The family's financial situation is difficult. Mr. Hector works as a tricycle taxi driver, but because he rents the vehicle, he earns only about $10 per day after expenses.

They are requesting this scholarship because Samantha's previous school closed due to safety concerns, and they need assistance so she can continue her education in a safe environment.

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.
