Sofia encourages her siblings to study hard
Sofía is a very smart young lady who has made the most of the support given to her by the GOD'S CHILD Project over the last 9 years. She is 14 years old and will be starting 9th grade this January thanks to the continued support of the GOD'S CHILD Project in El Salvador. Sofía lives with her mother, Rosa, and 3 siblings in a house that that Project built for the family in 2009. The scholarships and rice and beans that Sofía and her siblings receive from the Project have been a great blessing to the family since Rosa works as a nanny and earns just $100 per month which is not enough to provide for their basic needs such as food, clothes and an education.
Sofía knows that not all children in El Salvador are able to attend school because of the costs so she studies hard to make the most of this important opportunity and year after year is one of the top students in her class. Not only does she study hard but she also encourages her 3 younger siblings to do so as well. Sofía hopes to graduate as an elementary school teacher so that she can encourage other children to reach their dreams.
Thanks to your support we are able to provide children like Sofía with rice and beans but more importantly with the education they need so that when they grow up they can provide for their own families without having to depend on handouts from others. Thanks to you we are able to help make dreams come true.
Thank you for helping to make Sofía`s and many other children`s dreams a reality in El Salvador through your generous support. We hope that you will continue to support our cause by making another donation, sharing Sofía`s story with your friends and family, or following us on Facebook for even more updates.
With Gratitude,

Meet the future Dr. Lea!

The future Dr. Lea
Lea and her three siblings began to receive help from the GOD'S CHILD Project in 2009 because of their lack of economic resources. Their father worked raising animals and didn't make enough to provide for his family so the GOD'S CHILD Project stepped in to make sure the children were able to continue in school by providing them with a scholarship, school supplies, clothes, shoes, and rice and beans.
Of the four siblings Lea stands out the most. After graduating as a nurse's assistant she is now going to college to become a doctor. She is not only going to school but is also working as a nurse at a private clinic in El Salvador. Unfortunately she is looking for new work opportunities because she is currently the main support for her family and earns very little. Lea is very grateful to the Project and all of our supporters for the support that they have provided her and her family. She says, "Without the help of the Project becoming a doctor and providing for my family would be an impossible dream. Thank you for helping me make my dream a reality."
Indeed, thank you for helping make Lea's and many other children's dreams a reality in El Salvador through your generous support. We hope that you will continue to support our cause by making another donation, sharing Lea's story with your friends and family, or following us on Facebook for even more updates.

Blanca dreams of becoming a teacher
By Rina Lazo | Director of Donations
Thanks to your support we are able to help make dreams come true for children in El Salvador like Blanca.
Blanca is currently in 5th grade at a local school in Guazapa, El Salvador. She is the oldest of 4 siblings and has grown up in the care of her grandmother since her mother couldn't afford to take care of her. Blanca's grandmother is of an advanced age and doesn't have a steady job so one of Blanca's cousins is the main economic support for the family.
Blanca is a very responsible young lady and always does her homework and also helps her grandmother around the house. Blanca says "I hope to graduate and become a teacher so that I can help my mom and live with her and my siblings again."
Blanca has been with the Asociación Nuestros Ahijados del Salvador for 6 years receiving food (rice and beans) as well as a monthly scholarship and other services that the Project provides. The family was also living in house in very poor condition so the Project also helped them with the construction of a new home.
Blanca is very happy to be a part of the project. She works hard every day to be a better person and to fight her way out of the poverty that she is currently living. She walks an hour everyday to go to school so that she can improver her situation.
Because of your past donation we are able to give children like Blanca an education and help make their dreams of a better life come true. Please consider continuing your support for Educate Street Children in El Salvador by sending another donation or sharing Blanca's story with your friends and family.
