Hi,
We are sure by now you know the triplets at our children’s home! You have been generous with them and we know you would like to get to know them better.
María, Angeles and Lupis are almost 17, María and Angeles are identical twins and Lupis is physically very different. This year we had to move them to a new High School as María and Angeles need to be independent. They are so close that sometimes it seems as one can't survive without the other. They have not found their own identity and their therapist suggested that we enrolled them in different high schools. Above that, Puerta Abierta has the policy of giving them the opportunity to attend a High School that will assure them also a technical degree, this is possible in México and will give them new tools to become self-sufficient and independent.
It’s a challenge as they loved their old school, specially María, who strongly opposed to the idea last year. After a lot of thought and talks with the 3 of them they have come to the conclusion that this is a new opportunity for them!
Lupis choose gastronomy as her technical degree, Angeles IT and María administration. It gave them a apportunity to think about their future and to choose what they think they will like to do as a university degree later on.
It's now been 2 weeks since they started school and I can tell you that Lupis and Angeles are enjoining this new experience. María as teenager won´t admit that she is happy but we can see and hear that she is very happy. It always surprises us how easily children adapt and how resilient they are.
Your generous donation over this years has helped us to give them the possibilty to reach High School and have the knowledge to attend this new school. You are giving a huge opportunity not only with an education of good quality but a loving family, so thanks to you donor for being part of the education of our girls. Its been amazing to be so close to them and be part of their development with the challenges it has, they have a very special energy among the 3 and they are building their future now.
