Educate 300 Guatemalan Children

Carlos is 7 years old and at his young age has already suffered many problems at home. His mom was in a gang in the capital and his father was an alcoholic who would beat his wife and children. Carlos was raised by his grandmother however she passed away from uterine cancer at the beginning of the year so he is now in the care of his father.

The family lives in poor conditions in a house made of sheets of metal and a dirt floor. The family doesn’t have the resources to build a dignified home. While the grandmother was still alive she came to the God’s Child Project asking for help with the construction of a home. Unfortunately the Project could not help them with the construction of a home because the land that they live on is not their own and the owner could kick them out at any time.

However, because the Project knew the needs of the family they were given sheets of metal so that they could cover the holes in the house. Carlos was also registered at the Dreamer’s Center school and receives all of the benefits of the school to improve his quality of life.

Currently Carlos is in first grade and has average grades but is studying hard to learn more each day. Carlos does not have contact with his mother but his father, who is no longer drinking, and his aunt take care of him. Carlos has improved his grades since he started at the Dreamer’s Center where he receives and education, food, as well as a beautiful place to go to school.

Carlos is very happy to attend the Dreamer’s Center and would like to be a successful person.
