Alejandra 


October 22nd, 2013

Parramos, Guatemala


Alejandra is a very well-behaved and smiley girl; at home she helps with the household chores and washes her clothes. She likes to do the things by herself and help in any way possible. In her free time, she likes to play soccer with her younger brother. She is part of the AOJ school and is already in grade 6, and she strives to get good grades and learn quickly.


Her mother, Mrs. Consuelo, is 38 years old and is a woman who strives to provide for her children what they need; she works on a vegetable farm, and, although the work is very tiring and she needs to work a long shift, she tries to be there for her children. Alejandra’s siblings are Pablo Gabriel, who is 18 years old; he works and supports his mother to cover some of the payments at home, and José Santiago, who is currently in grade 2.


The house where they live is owned by Mrs. Consuelo's father; he provides them with a safe and stable space where they can live peacefully. In the house, they only have one room for the four of them, and they have two beds and a wardrobe. They do not have their own kitchen or kitchen items.


Mrs. Consuelo wishes for Alejandra to have the opportunity to have a good education and a better future.

Would you be the angel in Alejandra's life?
