Santander, Colombia
My name is Tatiana. I am 16 years old. I live in Girón with my parents, two brothers and two sisters. We lost our home several years ago due to a flood. Right now we are living in a provisional home provided by the government. The place where we live does not have access roads; there are community laundry sinks, community bathrooms and community recreational spaces. The supply of water and electricity is provisional. The families that were affected by the flood and lost their homes were relocated to a different area while the government builds new homes in a safe area. Right now the government is visiting the families affected by the flood to give them their new home. Since my parents work most of the time and my brothers and sisters study during the day, I decided to validate so I can stay home to receive the visit from the government. I study every Sunday from 7 -1 p.m. Since I am validating, I can finish one grade in a 6 month period. This means I will finish 9th grade in June a...

Cordillera, Paraguay
My name is Ayesa Esquivel. I am in the 1st year of high school at the Institute Reinaldo Macchi. I live with my mother and my 5 younger brothers, I am the oldest. I am a very responsible girl, very punctual, happy, sensitive, trustworthy and dedicated to my studies. A majority of my time is spent studying in and outside of my Institution. Being accepted as a student of the Institute was one of the best things that could have ever happened to me. As of now I have more opportunities than before and I am looking forward to building a better life for me and my family. In my free time I like to read, play handball, volleyball and listen to music. I enjoy being with my friends and family too. When I finish my studies in high school I would like to go to a great university to study medicine and eventually become a doctor to help those who are in need, to serve my country and community and to save lives. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ About Tobatí :Tobatí is both a town and a provincial dist...
Iberta Lauture
$110 of $110 donated
Sud East, Haiti
I am Iberta Lauture, and I am 10 years old. I am from Haiti – my village is Tuff in La Vallee located in the South East of Haiti. Since my dad passed away two years ago, I now live with my mom, a brother, and a sister. My mom is having a hard time to run the house since she is unused to working. My dad was the head of the household and the main supporter of our family. My mom is relying on some friends sometimes to help us pay for food and tuition. She is trying to run our small family farm, but it is not easy for her. The income is not enough. This year I was very fortunate to start going to school because my aunt paid the tuition for me. Everything is getting tougher for mom. My dream is to be engineer in the future. With that degree, I will be able to help my mom and get a nice house. But before all, I have to complete my elementary and high school!
