One of our youth, Rocio turned 18 this summer. She is one of the first kids to call Hogar de Esperanza home, arriving as a small child. Though she has some developmental delays, we’ve seen her grow into a lovely young lady. She is still in school, studying to get the equivalent of a GED here in Peru, and works during the week as a classroom assistant at a local preschool. She desires to return home to live with her family, but due to deplorable living conditions she wasn’t able to do so. David Miller made a visit to Hogar de Esperanza with a couple of business men and began work to improve her home. They worked to build two closed in secure rooms and a bathroom. Work continues on this project, and Rocio is still at Hogar de Esperanza, but soon she will be able to move back in with her family after almost a decade of separation. |
