Luis Manuel in the red shirt

Adorable Omar

Liz worded it best when she told the boys' sponsor, Patty... Luis Manuel and Omar are favorites. Omar needs to be our poster child. He has the most beautiful eyes and face. When you look at him it is pure love! I do hope you get to meet him some day.

Luis Manuel, Jose Antonio, and Gustavo


With Jose Antonio and Gustavo on Playa Oeste (West Beach) where the kids play and swim. As you can see, it is pretty filthy.

Going for a swim in a pool- a real treat for the kids who very rarely get to swim in pools!


Playing basketball with a friend, Richard.



Luis Manuel was able to participate in a wood working class, where he learned how to make benches. This was a great opportunity for the boys, as learning a trade is very important for their futures.
