Location: Isla Trinitaria, Guayaquil, Ecuador

Gender: Female

Birthday: December 26, 2010

School: St. Rose of Lima

Hobbies: She is a very shy and reserved girl. She helps take care of her young siblings, but in her free time, she enjoys reading books and studying.

Parents' Names and Occupations: Alfredo (left the family) and Jessica (taxicab driver)

Siblings: Amira (10) and Jasper (2)

Reason for Scholarship: Her mother works as a cab driver, which is a very dangerous job, with the amount of gang presence in the area. However, this is the only work she has been able to find. Even with this, she is not making enough to support herself and the children’s education. She wants them to have a good education so they can get good jobs later on.

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.
