Parramos, Guatemala


Marcos has expressive eyes and a sweet, calm personality. Although he is shy when meeting new people, he gradually gains confidence and shows affection to those around him. He is an intelligent boy who enjoys being close to his family, especially his mother, since they share a very special bond. His respectful way of interacting with others and his noble character make him loved by everyone who knows him.


Marcos lives with his parents, who work hard to provide for his needs and support his growth. His father, José, is 20 years old and works as a minibus driver, contributing to the household income. His mother, Mari, is 23 years old and sells shaved ice and also makes traditional handicrafts to help support the family financially. They work with dedication to offer their son better opportunities.


Currently, the family lives in a home lent to them by Marcos’s grandmother. It is a simple house where they share living spaces and resources. The kitchen has three plastic benches, and in the bedroom, they have a bed and a wardrobe. Many of the items in the home belong to the grandmother. Although they have limited resources, the family remains united and hopeful.


Marcos’s parents want him to have the opportunity to study at AOJ, where he can develop his talents and strengthen the skills that will help him achieve his dreams. They want to see him grow and have new opportunities in life.

Would you be the angel in Marcos's life?
